Soundings from an Empty Sea (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781939425669)

Soundings from An Empty Sea

Author: Matt Cody
Rating: R (Restricted - Mature themes, language, and psychological intensity

Overview - In Soundings from An Empty Sea, Matt Cody plunges readers into a fractured coastal town where silence is louder than the waves. Through a series of interlinked vignettes, Cody explores the emotional wreckage of lives adrift-fathers who vanish, mothers who mourn, and children who inherit the ache. The sea is not a metaphor-it's a witness. Stark, lyrical, and unflinching, this R-rated collection navigates trauma, longing, and the brutal beauty of survival. Cody's prose is raw and cinematic, echoing the cadence of grief and the pulse of memory.

This is not a gentle tide. It's a riptide of reckoning.

About the Author - Matt Cody is a literary provocateur whose work interrogates the spaces between silence and sound. With a background in coastal anthropology and a penchant for psychological realism, Cody crafts narratives that are both intimate and expansive. His writing has appeared in underground zines, indie journals, and spoken word circuits across the Pacific Northwest. Soundings from An Empty Sea marks his debut full-length collection-a visceral meditation on loss, legacy, and the language of water.
