Some things do not leave when they are gone.
They remain in a cup on the table, an empty side of a bed, a road bending out of sight, a dress that still carries a memory, photographs lowered into boxes.
Death of a Poet follows a poet through love, place, memory, silence, and finally loss.
Written across several years-and culminating in an intensely personal sequence composed during the summer of 2026-these poems move from beaches and cities to bedrooms, gardens, abandoned rooms, rain, rivers, and the ordinary objects that become unbearable when someone disappears from a life.
The collection begins with a man looking outward at the world and gradually turns inward, toward the strange archaeology of intimacy: what remains after love changes, what memory refuses to surrender, and what part of ourselves must sometimes disappear before another can emerge.
There are no easy conclusions here.
Only traces.
A sunflower.
A coffee cup.
A photograph in a box.
A bending road.
And somewhere among them-
an old poet who is no longer there.
