In A Palace of Waning, Pamela Nocerino’s luminous new chapbook, the poet traces the shifting landscapes of home, self, loss, and place. Here, “Red neon blinks / like it celebrates the danger” of icy roads, even as we are reminded that “The sun doesn’t rise / We rotate to see it.” Nocerino invites us into a world where beauty and peril intertwine, and where perception itself becomes a kind of illumination.

–Leah Huete de Maines, Poet-in-Residence Emerita at Northern Kentucky University

A Palace of Waning is a collection of poems that explores longing for a sense of home. Through place, self, and loss, the images wander into uneasy complexities of truth where the search for home distorts the view of its presence everywhere. The journey invites readers to take perception as far as space and as near as the sound of moving fabric.
