Description:
shelf life gathers poems and small essays that explore grief, recovery, and the fragile vessels that hold us. Written in the wake of the author's father's death, the book invites readers into moments of clarity, ache, memory, and unexpected mercy. This quiet, resonant debut reflects on what we keep, what leaks, and what inevitably returns to us-and how we learn to carry what remains.
