Knife: Selected Poems 2020-2024
Knife
Loneliness is When Solitude Pulls Out a Knife
Dive into the raw, beautifully flawed world of Knife, a collection of poems that unravel the complexities of solitude, longing, and love. Through a lens both sharp and vulnerable, Powers explores what it means to wrestle with loneliness, and the bittersweet edges of human connection. From basement bars where envy stirs, to tender moments that cut as deeply as they heal, each piece is an unfiltered snapshot of a mind searching for belonging. These poems don’t just speak—they ache, yearn, and confront the truths we often keep hidden.
With a voice both timeless and intensely personal, Knife dares readers to face the quiet violence of self-reflection and the poignant beauty of what it means to be alone… and to long for more.
