About This Book

A compact collection of three short prose pieces paired with ten brief poems, united by economical language and precise physical detail. The stories offer stark scenes of everyday life where desire, disappointment, and awkward intimacies unfold against small-town and working settings. The poems move between martial imagery, mechanical modernity, landscape, and urban fragments, often registering violence, loss, and the residue of youth. Across both forms the voice remains restrained and evocative, privileging sensory observation and elliptical moments that hint at larger emotional consequences without explicit exposition.
