Jonathan T. Bailey maps the aftermath of loss and transformation, weaving themes of longing, belonging, and self-discovery. With language that is clear-eyed and intimate, the poems embrace contradiction as essential to healing, refusing to separate pain from beauty or vulnerability from strength. Instead of offering closure, the work reveals how wholeness is forged through emotional risk and the clarity gained by facing oneself fully.
