The Long After (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798242191983)

Some losses do not arrive loudly.

They do not announce themselves.

They simply change the way everything feels afterward.

The Long After is a quiet collection of poems about what remains when someone is gone.

The ordinary days that keep coming.

The conversations that never happen again.

The strange weight of learning how to live without closure.

These poems do not explain grief.

They sit inside it.

In absence.

In silence.

In the spaces where names are still spoken but never answered.

This book is for anyone who has loved deeply.

Lost quietly.

And continued anyway.

If you have ever stood still in a world that refused to pause.

These pages may feel familiar.
