Confessions from the Corner Table

This book is a collection of poems that explores love, loss, waiting, and acceptance through familiar spaces and everyday rituals. Set largely in cafés and quiet corners, the poems trace moments of arrival and departure, attachment and release. Using recurring objects, intentional silence, and experimental forms, the collection blurs the line between presence and absence, holding grief and tenderness together without seeking resolution. Rather than offering closure, the poems invite stillness and reflection, asking the reader to sit with what lingers after people leave. At its core, the book is about learning how to stay: with memory, with love, and with oneself.
