Fragments is a small book about heavy things. In these poems, brief essays, and vignettes, Sam Singleton writes from the near distance of grief and the close heat of love. The pieces were written alongside his memoir and follow the same ground: loss and repair, anxiety and steadier days, the choice to be gentle when it would be easier not to be.

You can open anywhere. Each piece stands alone and still speaks to the rest. A phone that will not ring. A dressing gown left on a door. Night driving on empty roads. The quiet work of choosing tenderness and keeping it. The voice is plain on purpose. The aim is clarity rather than pose.
