Middlemanmiddle

By Scott Michael Craig

MiddleManMiddle is a poetry collection that lives in the tension between things, between choices, between identities, between versions of the self that never fully agree.

These poems move through the many forms of being in the middle between two loves, decisions, places, thoughts, lives, and whatever may follow. In MiddleManMiddle, the middle is not simply a place of indecision, but a charged and complex space where awareness and contradiction coexist, where the self is stretched across possibility.

Written in lyrical and stream of conscious styles, among others, these pieces balance the philosophical with the immediate, the surreal with the intimate. They explore uncertainty in a state of heightened perception. The voice moves fluidly between grounded observation and abstract reflection, often inhabiting the threshold where meaning itself begins to shift. You will feel the pull of opposing magnets and the pull of directions. Relationships, identity, time, desire, and consequence all intersect here, creating a very pensive landscape.

And sometimes the middle is not a pause. It's where everything happens.
