Sam Moody's debut collection weaves together poetry, short stories, and his signature "blurbs"
-- short, distilled short essays that linger just long enough before carrying you somewhere new. Across these pages, you'll drift through childhood memories, quiet realizations, and the gentle push-and-pull of love, loss, and growth. There's warmth here, but also honesty. A sense of home, but also movement, because life is never quite still, even when we want it to be.
Rooted in the rhythms of small moments and universal truths, this book offers an invitation to pause and to step outside of time, if only for a while. Whether it's a poem that makes you linger, a story that pulls you in, or a blurb that sparks something unexpected, you'll discover truth in ways you didn't quite expect.
From the author:
"As you wander these pages, you'll find quite a bit of me. You'll also find pieces of the many people I love. And hopefully, here and there, you'll find a bit of yourself."
