How does the real interact.
Perception leaves a skeleton.

Abandonment witnesses ruins,
stagnant plastic private strangeness.

Charged with the flood, random
interior exile followed.

Poetry collection Ghost Work by Robert Colman (Palimpsest Press), with its striking black and white cover, rests atop a snowy bit of pavement

Handwritten transcription of the poem "Invitation To The End" by Robert Colman, from the poetry collection Ghost Work - notebook sits on a black and gray carpet, with an uncapped black pen resting on the page and a bright red bookmark ribbon visible

"We'll be able
to forget most everything. Our doubt
will be nameless. We'll do as little with our fear."

Lovely to see! @palimpsestpress.bsky.social

The cover of LONG EXPOSURE features the author's name in capitalized sans serif white text along the top, and the title in the same font, bolded, right aligned in the bottom right corner. The cover image is of a corner of a decrepit, abandoned home. In this graphic, cover of the book has been superimposed on top of a long exposure photo that matches the colour tones of the cover image.

"LONG EXPOSURE” is a book-length poem that fluidly reflects on tragedy, depictions of thoughts & feelings, & uncomfortable spaces between self and other.
