as the new year carries your name away

By Adam Stokkeland

as the new year carries your name away is a raw and intimate collection of prose poems about heartbreak, identity, and healing. Written in the aftermath of a breakup that unfolded two days before New Year's Eve, this collection traces the slow unraveling of a love once believed to be forever.

Through four parts-the warning signs, the breaking point, the aftermath, and what remains-the narrator moves through silence, longing, self-doubt, and finally, a quiet reclamation of self. These poems speak to anyone who has held on too tightly, grieved someone still alive, or had to rebuild a version of themselves from memory.

Written with aching vulnerability and emotional clarity, this book is a companion for anyone learning how to live without the person they thought would stay-and learning how to stay with themselves instead.
