Plastic Life

By Giles L Turnbull

Giles L. Turnbull's Plastic Life is a tightly woven narrative-in-verse that examines disposability in all its forms-of relationships, rituals, memory, and meaning. Structured as a quiet unraveling, the sequence follows an unnamed protagonist through the fallout of a failed marriage, shadowed by modern life's throwaway culture and his own faltering attempts at connection. In spare, clear-eyed poems that drift from commuter trains to grief-soaked recollections, Turnbull sketches a world of plastic cutlery, takeout coffee, and unspoken regrets. The result is an elegy for the irretrievable, rendered in fragments both tender and unsparing.
