Afterform is a minimalist poetry collection exploring what remains after intimacy passes through a life.
Structured in three movements-Presence, Gesture, and Afterform-the poems trace love not as narrative or confession, but as residue: scent, touch, ritual, object, memory. Each piece begins in the physical world, passes through perception, and settles into a lasting trace. The body is central. Domestic spaces matter. Nothing is symbolic by accident.
These poems avoid surrealism and dream logic. Instead, they are grounded in ecological detail, material culture, and emotional ritual. The language is spare, tactile, and exacting. Meaning emerges through recurrence rather than explanation.
Afterform is not a story of love gained or lost. It is an architecture of what lingers-how connection imprints itself on objects, gestures, and the nervous system long after contact ends.
For readers drawn to precise language, emotional restraint, and poetry that values structure as much as feeling.
