    About this ebook

    R.W. Lesmeister blurs the line between one’s daily life and the pursuit of passions within their own microcosm. Throughout the author’s first poetry collection, big questions bounce against mundane truisms in a world that becomes smaller throughout the pages. He does this by making connections to the disconnect of the modern zeitgeist. Lesmeister expresses the universal through his reflections on the personal, inspiring the reader to do so as well.

      The silence on our first night on our plot was absolute. We lay awake listening to it, waiting to hear… something, anything. After the sirens, barking dogs, revved car engines and domestic arguments between uncomfortably close neighbours, this almost

      ONE of my lecturers told us we shouldn’t rely on hope to get us through difficult times because it creates a false sense of security. I got it but I just can’t accept the idea that life without hope is better. So many stories in this edition show why

      AS I look back at the year that was, I’m astounded by just how tough it’s been. We were all trying to adjust to a world after pandemic restrictions and masks, battling to find a new normal in a world that was anything but. And it’s not as if we start

      A FEW weeks ago I went to the Calabash in Cape Town specially to see Maroon 5. I’d invited a childhood friend to go with me and we set off like a couple of giggly teens – and on a school night too! I hadn’t been to a concert for a long time, but as s

      It’s soothing when the newly dead are way older than I am. This guy was 95. His picture—middle-aged, archaic glasses—freezes him somewhere around 1970. But even when they are my age and live in my town and share so many of my habits and interests tha
