squinting in the dark: poems of attachment

By J A Harnett-Hargrove

squinting in the dark: poems of attachment is a contemporary poetry collection that journeys through dreams, memory, imagination, and transformation. Blending surreal and lyrical poems, it explores love, loss, and the strange logic of the subconscious. Moving between waking life and dream landscapes, these poems weave vivid visual language with emotional honesty, lingering in spaces that are mysterious, haunting, and deeply human.

The collection invites readers into experiences of longing, discovery, uncertainty, and renewal. Introspective lyricism intertwines with reflections on relationships, language, time, and identity, creating a body of work that is both evocative and deeply personal. Rich in emotional resonance, squinting in the dark: poems of attachment rewards slow reading and repeated visits, revealing new layers with each return.

Ideal for readers of contemporary poetry, literary poetry, surrealist poetry, dream-inspired writing, and experimental lyric verse, squinting in the dark: poems of attachment offers an immersive reading experience where beauty and uncertainty exist side by side. It is a meditation on the emotional landscapes that shape our inner lives, what is remembered, what is imagined, and what remains just beyond words.
