Synopsis

To struggle, to endure, and still speak of it-not every voice dares such honesty. Patrick Carlson, in his inspirational book of poems, The 2nd Year, bears the quiet weight of his emotions, reflections, and the shadows that marked his life's journey. He carries the ache of illness, the pulse of memory, and the search for meaning in all the chaos. Each poem lingers as both confession and companion, a reminder that pain, when named, becomes something more than despair. To write was to survive, and to survive was to remember — Patrick Carlson.

About this title

About the Author

Born in Colorado Springs but raised to call the Pacific Northwest home. Patrick comes from a blended family with his dad having been born in Germany and his mom in South Korea. He found that his early experience with poetry was up and down. However, over time it grew into something more reliable and stable rather than only being a way to process pain. Patrick prefers that the experience of writing poetry to be meaningfully balanced but pointed and tinged with wit.
