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 and forty-eight 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.
