Sinopsis

There is an artist’s hand behind these poems — pigment-stained, patient, unwilling to look away. Sentimental Engines moves between the plainspoken and the incantatory, between grief observed at close range and grief that arrives disguised as a young man on the side of the road.

This collection returns again and again to the same quiet questions: what we make when we can't say the thing directly, what we carry from a house we no longer live in, and what it costs to stay present when the mind keeps drifting toward absence.

Some poems here are as brief and exact as a breath held in cold air. Others build into dense, sound-driven passages that resist easy paraphrase — reminders that some experiences don't want to be translated, only witnessed. Together they form a portrait not of a single event, but of a mind returning, obsessively and tenderly, to the material of its own life: art, weather, memory, and the dead who don't quite leave.


Sentimental Engines is for readers who find comfort in poems that don't resolve their grief so much as sit beside it — a book for anyone who has ever driven past a cemetery and felt the whole conversation change.
