About this title

Synopsis

Fragments is a small book about heavy things. In these poems, brief essays, and vignettes, Sam Singleton writes from the near distance of grief and the close heat of love. The pieces were written alongside his memoir and follow the same ground: loss and repair, anxiety and steadier days, the choice to be gentle when it would be easier not to be.

You can open anywhere. Each piece stands alone and still speaks to the rest. A phone that will not ring. A dressing gown left on a door. Night driving on empty roads. The quiet work of choosing tenderness and keeping it. The voice is plain on purpose. The aim is clarity rather than pose.

What you will find

• Poems, short essays, and vignette-style prose you can read in a sitting

• Themes of grief, love, resilience, and mental health

• A calm, direct style with room to breathe

• A sequence that moves from fracture toward something like hope

Who this book is for

• Readers who like honest, human writing without ornament

• Anyone carrying change, heartbreak, or the long tail of anxiety

• Fans of short forms they can return to when the day is crowded
