The End and All Before It: A Collection of Poetry (The Aftermath Sequence, Band 3) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

The End and All Before It is a descent through the final rooms of memory, a record of unraveling.

In this third collection, Joshua M Sutton writes from the edge of finality, where memory fractures and the self begins to blur. These poems inhabit the quiet just beyond conclusion, where the body remembers what the mind denies and time folds in on itself.

There are no resurrections here, no promises of light. Only the remnants of what has been said and the faint trace of what never will be. Each poem is an act of disappearance, an attempt to name what vanishes even as it’s spoken.

Through language stripped of comfort and sharpened by silence, Sutton constructs a landscape of endings—marriages, families, selves—and the hollow stillness of still being here to watch them fade. The End and All Before It reveals that closure is not mercy but a myth, and that even endings are haunted by their beginnings.
