Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Held Ground is a memoir in essays about restraint, love, frailty, and the sacredness of ordinary life.Drawing on an Appalachian childhood, military service, fatherhood, marriage, loss, and the long aftermath of grief, Rob Wyatt examines the forces that shape a man-and the choices that determine what he passes on. These essays move between inherited wisdom and hard-earned accountability, between the body's memory of danger and its capacity to recognize safety, between the desire to hold on and the courage required to let go.At the heart of the book is a searching examination of endurance. Holding ground can be an act of courage, but it can also disguise fear, pride, possession, or an unwillingness to change. Through intimate reflections on war, domestic life, heartbreak, faith, and personal failure, Wyatt asks what deserves fidelity, what must be carried, and what should be prevented from reaching the people we love.Written with candor, tenderness, and moral clarity, Held Ground refuses easy innocence and uncomplicated redemption. It is the record of one man learning that pain does not make a person noble, love does not grant possession, and strength does not make anyone invulnerable. What remains is the quieter work of living honestly: tending what matters, accepting what cannot be repaired, and choosing-again and again-where to stand. Through a series of intimate reflections on war, family, and loss, this collection explores the delicate balance between the strength required to endure and the wisdom needed to let go.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. I Only Wanted to Be Your Flower is a collection of poems and prose about what happens when desire becomes attachment, attachment becomes identity, and love leaves behind something that cannot simply be forgotten.Moving through four sections-Hunger, Devotion, Rupture, and Becoming-Natalie Merrit writes from inside the contradictions of intimacy: tenderness and violence, longing and self-preservation, sexuality and grief, the desire to belong to another person and the need to remain oneself. These are poems about wanting to be chosen, about the risks of being known, and about the ways devotion can blur the boundary between offering oneself and disappearing.Her language is intimate, sensual, and often unsparing. Flowers, mouths, bones, blood, ink, scars, and water recur across the collection, changing meaning as love is imagined, inhabited, lost, and carried forward. The body becomes both refuge and record-a place where pleasure, memory, damage, and desire remain long after circumstances have changed. A tender image can turn dangerous within a line; a declaration of independence can still carry the ache of wanting someone to stay.Writing itself becomes part of this struggle. What cannot be spoken finds its way onto the page, where memory can be revisited and longing given a shape. Across brief fragments and longer, searching passages, Merrit returns to the distance between what we understand and what we continue to want.But this is not simply a collection about heartbreak, nor does it promise the easy resolution of recovery. Merrit is interested in the more difficult territory that follows: how people continue to love what they have lost, how understanding can arrive before acceptance, and how a self is reconstructed from the things it has survived. Becoming leaves room for contradiction-for tenderness that persists alongside anger, for desire that outlives certainty, and for a voice still learning what it can claim as its own.I Only Wanted to Be Your Flower is ultimately a book about attachment, loss, and becoming-and the complicated work of discovering what remains when being loved by someone else can no longer answer the question of who we are. This visceral collection explores the thin line between devotion and self-erasure, tracing the heavy journey from intense longing to the complex reconstruction of a soul after love has fractured.
