Paperhearts: A Breakup Collection of Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798269476230)

Paperhearts traces an intimate arc: first light, fracture, and the steady afterweather. Image systems return and deepen: keys and doors, stars and wayfinding, anchors and tide. Rooted in place from Appalachia to a gazebo near Maple Shade and a marina at dusk, the collection favors the dignity of what is seen and held over grand speech.

What remains is a book about staying human when love leaves. How to carry a quiet note through the night. How to live with what cannot be fixed. How to choose tenderness anyway. Readers who love lyric clarity, tactile detail, and endings that arrive like true north will keep a finger in these pages.
