In Grasping, a poignant collection of poetry, one man’s lifetime of experiences unfolds in vivid verse. From the gritty realities of life beside a half-way house to the tender embrace of falling in love with Charleston, South Carolina, these poems weave a tapestry of love, rejection, and the eternal search for meaning. With raw honesty and lyrical grace, Grasping explores the beauty and fragility of human connection, while pondering one soul’s place in the vast universe. This is a journey through the heart—both shadowed and luminous—that invites readers to hold on, let go, and reach for something more.
