Impermanence: A Poetry Collection

Impermanence moves through the hour between waking and sleep, the instant before departure, the joke that interrupts dread, and the body that keeps asking what comes next. Across twenty-two poems, Shaun J Apple turns loneliness, pain, travel, appetite, technology, desire, and mortality into compressed signals: conversational, strange, darkly funny, and unexpectedly tender. The collection does not resolve the fear of ending. It asks what it means to remain awake inside change.
