A Bit Too Much: A snapshot poetry chapbook
A Bit Too Much is a snapshot poetry chapbook for anyone who has ever felt more than they knew where to put.
Written as the.dronos, this collection gathers twenty-two poems about love, longing, grief, devotion, heartbreak, and the stubborn work of surviving what the heart refuses to release. Each poem captures a single emotional moment before it can be softened by distance or explained into something safer.
The collection follows the author's form of "snapshot poetry," built on two rules: emotional density through brevity, and complete surrender to the moment of creation. Every poem was written in a single session. Once its final line or title was set, it was finished, with no later revision. The result is poetry preserved like an instant photograph: intimate, imperfect, immediate, and still alive with the conditions in which it was made.
Across poems such as "pretty cool," "keep me alive," "Falling With Angels," "run," "Harbor," and "you dork," affection becomes confession, memory becomes evidence, and pain becomes something that can be held long enough to name. Some poems whisper. Others bleed, sing, plead, joke, or stand quietly at the edge of goodbye. Together, they trace the strange geography of loving deeply: the beauty of being witnessed, the terror of being left, the ache of words unsaid, and the hope that even a wounded heart may still find a way forward.
A Bit Too Much does not offer polished distance or tidy closure. It offers the moment itself. Raw. Brief. Unrevised. Honest enough to be uncomfortable and tender enough to remain.
For readers drawn to contemporary poetry about unrequited love, emotional intensity, loneliness, memory, and survival, this chapbook is a small box of captured lightning, each poem a photograph taken before the feeling disappeared.
