Synopsis
Essays and poems on labour, memory, love, and survival—what endures when certainty and shelter fall away.
This book asks a stark question: what survives when the structures we depend on give way? Through essays and poems it moves from invisible labour, to memory held without records, to love lived without guarantees, to futures improvised without maps, and finally to the kind of wisdom that must stand without shelter.
Each section works with detail drawn from everyday life: the rhythm of work that no one applauds, a name written in pencil that still carries, the logistics that make devotion real, the small bridges people build when routes collapse, the fragments of thought carried like kindling. The writing does not look for certainty or permanence. It looks for what can be folded, spoken, or remembered when other forms fail.
Influenced by Philip Levine, Dionne Brand, Rainer Maria Rilke, Rebecca Solnit, Paul Celan and others, the book finds beauty and dignity in the fragile, the provisional, and the portable. It is a work for readers who want writing that steadies without pretending, that notices without spectacle, that listens closely to what endures.
