Small Talk Symphony by Joshua Lillie

Joshua Lillie‘s writing is like noticing something ordinary–say a fence that needs mending in front of any house on any street in America–and then doubling back two or three times before realizing that it’s not really a fence, but a line of demarcation between reality and the actual truth behind this reality.

Small Talk Symphony is an exercise in wandering, a series of deep breaths and slow exhalations spent navigating home. The directions contained revolve around withstanding, resisting, and belonging in a modern world. If depression is anger turned inward, then anger must be the muzzle bent backward. These poems aim to keep their fingers off the trigger while always ready for the worst. #poetry #belonging #wandering #with #without
