Death of a Poet

Some things do not leave when they are gone.

They remain in a cup on the table, an empty side of a bed, a road bending out of sight, a dress that still carries a memory, photographs lowered into boxes.

Death of a Poet follows a poet through love, place, memory, silence, and finally loss.

Written across several years—and culminating in an intensely personal sequence composed during the summer of 2026—these poems move from beaches and cities to bedrooms, gardens, abandoned rooms, rain, rivers, and the ordinary objects that become unbearable when someone disappears from a life.

The collection begins with a man looking outward at the world and gradually turns inward, toward the strange archaeology of intimacy: what remains after love changes, what memory refuses to surrender, and what part of ourselves must sometimes disappear before another can emerge.

There are no easy conclusions here.

Only traces.

A sunflower.
A coffee cup.
A photograph in a box.
A bending road.

And somewhere among them—

an old poet who is no longer there.
