For the End Comes Reaching

by David Wong Hsien Ming
$8.90
For the End Comes Reaching
For the End Comes Reaching

Poetic exploration of loss, death, and redemption.

David Wong's collection dives deep into the tender complexities of human existence. If you're drawn to reflective poetry that grapples with the heavy tapestry of loss and the transformation it can inspire, "For The End Comes Reaching" might resonate with you. Its interwoven themes of love, violence, guilt, and faith will offer a cathartic journey through grief and a search for meaning.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

This is a meditation on the ineffable sense of loss that accompanies each having. Through the death of his father, a son apprehends other deaths and finds each manifestation inevitable, yet enclosed with possibility; violence bears love and is borne of it, guilt seeds redemption, and faith is found within apostasy. What emerges from For the End Comes Reaching are poems that bear witness to the alchemy of human experience.
