Exits by Stephen C. Pollock
What if every ending held the seed of a beginning?
We live our lives counting moments, those we hope will last forever, and those we fear. In Exits, award-winning poet Stephen C. Pollock transforms these moments into sublime and sensuous music. The poems in the collection explore the beauty and frailty of life, the cycles of nature, and the mysteries of renewal that arise from even the darkest places.
Each poem is paired with evocative artwork, creating an immersive reading experience that lingers long after the final page. From myth to mourning, from dreams to decline, and from flora and fauna to the warming of our world, Exits reminds us that beauty is never far from loss, and that every departure leaves a door ajar.
Winner of the 2024 North Street Book Prize for Poetry, the 2026 PenMasters Book of the Year for Poetry, and sixty-three other literary honors, Exits is a masterful collection for those who believe that poems should move you, stay with you, and change the way you look at life.
Step into these pages. Lose yourself in poetry that's both technically exquisite and emotionally arresting. And discover why every exit is, in its own way, an entrance.

Pollock's poetry collection Exits nods to the literary traditions of years past while simultaneously speaking to the present moment. Multilayered and musical, the poems in Exits have drawn comparisons to the poetry of Seamus Heaney and the sonnets of William Shakespeare. With bold imagery, attention to form, and a consistent through-line rooted in the theme of mortality, Pollock's collection responds to contemporary anxieties surrounding death and the universal search for meaning in life's transience.Exits . . . is a magnificent work- Readers' Favorite Reviews, 5.0 stars Exits exemplifies the musicality of language- Foreword-Clarion ReviewsFull of wit, insight and provocative imagery, Exits is a masterful collection- IndieReader, 5.0 stars  Exits is a book that has profoundly impacted the literary world- Midwest Book ReviewThe poems in Exits explore human mortality, the cycles of life, and the potential for renewal. Many of the images and metaphors are drawn from nature. In addition, each poem is paired with a piece of artwork intended to resonate with the writing and enhance the reader's experience. The collection presents a potpourri of styles, ranging from traditional forms to free verse to hybrid works. Nine of the poems have appeared in literary journals, and six have been recognized in regional or international poetry competitions. Every life if finite.
