Publisher's Synopsis
With springtime blossom comes the density and darkness of the human experience. If you love existentialism, artistic melancholy, necrosociality, and/or metaphysical abstraction through poetic means, then this is, without a doubt, the book for you.
Author of Amaranthine (2018), Devolution (2019), Armageddon (2019), Silk & Cigars (2019), and most recently, Cerulean (2020), Ami J. Sanghvi returns with The Book of Soft, Sweet Nothings just in time to achieve her goal of "six by twenty-six."
When everything becomes nothing, poetry paves the way to make it all something again. Sometimes, that something is tragic, consisting entirely of shattered parts: pieces broken off from everything, anything, and nothing at all.This is The Book of Soft, Sweet Nothings the poetry book of life, death, mourning, loss, grief, dementia, water, fire, ice, air, pandemic, distance, existential discovery, the human experience, and everything around and in-between - the strange, supple stitching of our universe.Further yet, it turns out maybe [just maybe] something and nothing are either mostly or entirely the same...And there isn't anything remotely soft, nor sweet, about it.
