life: death: love: theft

By Jay Sizemore

This chapbook of poems comprises the best of a series of works written during a thirty day period in June 2015. During this time, poet Jay Sizemore wrote a poem a day, responding to favorite pieces from his favorite poets. The works were completed as part of a 30/30 challenge run by Tupelo Press.

A small collection of poems, it comprises the best of this series, with pieces responding to classics and favorites by poets such as T.S. Eliot, Bob Hicok, Sylvia Plath, Elizabeth Bishop, Anne Sexton, William Carlos Williams and more.

In this humble volume, the poet attempts to capture the essence of what inspires, what in poetry works to unveil the mystery of life.

From poet/writer Christina Ward: This collection is a deep-dive into life, grief, all manner of human emotion and how it all defines the meaning of our existence. Deliberate and cerebral, yet introspective and visual, you won't be able to stop yourself from reading on to the next page, the next poem, the next deep thought so uncomfortably close to those thoughts that keep you awake at night.
