About this ebook
"Pollock's poetry is brilliant"
— Kristiana Reed, editor-in-chief, Free Verse Revolution
Stephen C. Pollock's poetry collection Exits explores the beauty and frailty of life, the cycles of nature, and the potential for renewal. It also responds to contemporary anxieties surrounding death and the universal search for meaning. Multilayered and musical, the poems in Exits have drawn comparisons to the poetry of Seamus Heaney and the sonnets of William Shakespeare. Exits has been honored with the Gold Medal for poetry in the 2023 Readers' Favorite International Book Awards and the Silver Medal for poetry in the 2024 Feathered Quill Book Awards. Echoing these accolades, Midwest Book Review declares: "Exits is a book that has profoundly impacted the literary world."

"Exits is a book that has profoundly impacted the literary world"
— Midwest Book Review
The poems in Exits comprise a meditation on life's transience. 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.
Every life is finite. Awareness of death's inevitability profoundly affects each person's perspective on their life and its meaning. In a world ravaged by contagion, climate change, famine, and war, Exits dovetails with the prevailing zeitgeist.
