Description
In this keenly observant collection, discarded objects become starting points for meditations on human habits, responsibility, compassion, and the fragile relationship between people and the natural world. Inspired by the author’s own impulse to pick up litter and clean the spaces around her, these poems look closely at what society leaves behind—and at the stories, choices, and consequences embedded in the unwanted. With characteristic humanity and probing clarity, the collection transforms everyday trash into an invitation to pay attention, reconsider our impact, and discover meaning in overlooked places.
