Ripple: A Chapbook by Neil Szuch
In Ripple, Neil Szuch explores the quiet terrain of grief, memory, and love through a blend of sonnets, haiku, and tanka. This eleven-poem collection carries readers through shifting voices-of a man caught in creative silence, a loyal dog sensing loss, a woman learning to live again, and a ghost who lingers in the space between moments.
Woven together by subtle recurring lines and atmospheric imagery, Ripple doesn't chase a story-it lets one unfold. With colored pencil illustrations accompanying each piece, this chapbook offers a sensory meditation on the ripples we leave behind, and how mourning reshapes into hope.
Whether you're navigating your own silence, or just searching for a quiet place to feel-Ripple invites you to pause, listen, and reflect.
"If you felt even one ripple while reading, I'm grateful." -Neil Szuch
