Endings: Poetry and Prose - Paperback

by William Poe (Author)

Lost love, remorse, resentment, and death all feed into award-winning writer William Poe's Endings: Poetry and Prose.

In Endings: Poetry and Prose, award-winning author William Poe-recognized for his novel Simple Simon, winner of the 2016 IndieReader Discovery Award for LGBT Fiction-dives into the unlit corners of the human condition. This collection of short stories and poetry explores themes of isolation, resentment, lost love, and death with a voice that is stark, lyrical, and unflinching.

From a child's tragic decision to an artist's fatal sacrifice, these works reflect a period of profound despair, capturing the emotional weight of disconnection and longing. Poe does not offer comfort-instead, he offers truth, stripped of sentimentality and softened illusions.

For readers who find meaning in the honest portrayal of emotional extremes, Endings is both haunting and quietly resonant.
