Description
Vincent O’Connor’s first chapbook. 30 poems, 48 pages.
In this deeply, intelligent debut, Vince O’Connor shadow dances with himself. These taut, concise poems illuminate “crimes of indifference,” and celebrate human compassion and personal growth. His “delicacy-driven synonyms” explore “the infinite number of versions” of himself. One man’s inner journey exposed through a feminist lens, leaves the reader looking forward to his next collection of poetry.
Jeanette M. Cox, author of War and Peace
Please Don’t
We are all desperate
for a touch that reaches
beyond our skin
but never let someone back
in your life
just because
you’re lonely.
They won’t fix you
you can’t
make them love you
by loving them
and dependency
is not love.
