A sharp, epistolary portrait of a stubborn dreamer chasing fame through a world of doors that won’t stay open.

In this third and final volume, a gifted poet writes a long, intimate letter-diary about his stalled career and steadfast courage. The book unfolds as a series of missives that mix ambition, hardship, and quiet resilience in a vividly drawn heavy-hitting literary setting.
