The Aftermath Sequence (17 results)

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In The Weight of Almost, Joshua M Sutton turns to the places where memory, desire, and ruin converge. These poems move through rooms thick with what was nearly held, carrying the echo of love that faltered, intimacy that never learned how to stay, and lives shaped by the things they could not keep.This collection is not a story of healing. It lingers in the quiet after the door has closed, in the loneliness that grows beside another body, in the slow realization that tenderness can wound as deeply as distance. Here, love is not a refuge but a haunting, and remembrance is a burden that never loosens its grip.With stark clarity and measured restraint, The Weight of Almost holds what slips through open hands and asks what remains when closeness fails, when longing becomes ache, and when the future dissolves into memory before it ever arrives.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In Buried With the Future, Joshua M Sutton writes from the quiet ruin that follows love, memory, and the passing of time. These poems inhabit the hollow spaces left when everything certain has been undone. Each line feels unearthed rather than written, a record of what remains after meaning collapses. This collection is not an act of recovery but of confrontation. It moves through rooms emptied of warmth, landscapes stripped to their foundations, and the fragile persistence of what refuses to be forgotten. Sutton's voice is spare and deliberate, his language distilled to its most essential truths. Buried With the Future stands as an unflinching meditation on absence and decay, a map of the world left behind after loss has done its work. It asks what it means to go on living when the future itself has been buried. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The End and All Before It is a descent through the final rooms of memory, a record of unraveling.In this third collection, Joshua M Sutton writes from the edge of finality, where memory fractures and the self begins to blur. These poems inhabit the quiet just beyond conclusion, where the body remembers what the mind denies and time folds in on itself.There are no resurrections here, no promises of light. Only the remnants of what has been said and the faint trace of what never will be. Each poem is an act of disappearance, an attempt to name what vanishes even as it's spoken.Through language stripped of comfort and sharpened by silence, Sutton constructs a landscape of endings-marriages, families, selves-and the hollow stillness of still being here to watch them fade. The End and All Before It reveals that closure is not mercy but a myth, and that even endings are haunted by their beginnings. This item is printed on demand.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Elegy Without End is a journey through the quiet ruins of love, faith, and memory. In this haunting debut collection, Joshua M Sutton writes from the American South with a voice both intimate and mythic, tracing the aftermath of loss where silence becomes its own form of prayer. Each poem moves through the shadows of what once was: faith turned to ash, love transfigured into myth, and the divine fallen still. Yet within the sorrow, a fragile grace endures. Sutton's verse is lyrical and unflinching, a meditation on grief that refuses closure, beauty that refuses comfort, and devotion that continues even after the light has gone. For readers of Louise Glueck, Ocean Vuong, and Mark Strand, Elegy Without End is a testament to what remains when everything sacred has faded, the human impulse to remember.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. In The Dream Was the Wound, Joshua M Sutton returns to the landscape of loss, where love decays, faith falters, and memory refuses to rest. These poems move through ruined homes, hollow mornings, and the fragile aftermath of devotion, asking what remains when forgiveness fails and tenderness turns to ruin. Sutton's voice is clear and mournful, his language pared to bone. Each poem is a confession carved from silence, a reckoning with grief that no prayer can soothe. Through the wreckage of faith, love, and time, he searches for a language equal to survival. For readers drawn to the raw intimacy of Anne Carson, the stillness of Mark Strand, and the emotional candor of Tracy K. Smith, The Dream Was the Wound is a meditation on how love breaks and what remains when it does. This item is printed on demand.
