What We Leave Behind - 9798218412555

"Now we come to it - will we leave anything behind at all?" Therapy for any and all weeping souls, What We Leave Behind examines our relationship to nature in an era so far removed from it.

In this book of nature poetry, Matt Sheeley combines the deeply archaic elder of time with a child-like appreciation of the natural world. Themes of time and legacy are brought to life by a minimal aesthetic and careful, deliberate word choice. It is a collection of ramblings and musings - half diary, half poetry, part will - that succeeds in putting forth a satisfying and unique understanding of what "primordial" means.

"For most it will seem to be nothing of note - the vague ramblings of a delirious fool, to be sure! - but to those who seek more, who find themselves outnumbered in this box-office world, I hope you take something like wisdom from me. I'll leave what I've learned; take it, if it helps!"
