About this ebook
Written with the pacing, repetition, and emotional propulsion of music, these poems treat language as an instrument, carrying rhythm, compression, and resonance as much as meaning.
Moving through hospitals, offices, pubs, bedrooms, oceans, and waiting rooms, the collection examines how people learn to function, endure, and remain human inside structures that often demand their disappearance.
With unsentimental clarity and emotional weight, Gary Morgan writes about survival without heroics, connection without romance, and meaning that arises not from answers, but from staying present when the stories collapse.
