Get Closer

By Ryan Van Winkle

In his latest collection, Ryan Van Winkle explores the themes of abandonment, imprisonment, generational incomprehension and the very notion of how we end up where we are.

The poet looks at his life through a lens - to get closer - to meditate on the anxieties and insecurities of a life, and how we remember and mis-remember, how memories and people can be difficult and at times hurtful to hold onto it. In reading this collection it becomes clear that although these recollections may be ordered, the emotions and impressions surrounding them are not.
