The Architecture of Leaving: A Triptych in Ice and Heavy Rot

By Chi Emmanuel

Winner of the unsaid, The Architecture of Leaving: A Triptych in Ice and Heavy Rot is a striking poetry chapbook that maps the physical anatomy of grief.

Written in the quiet spaces where language usually fails, this collection examines the structural integrity of absence and the cold mechanics of letting go. Through three distinct, interconnected movements, these poems dissect what remains when a world is quietly reduced to its baseline conditions.

Step across the threshold. Navigate the wreckage. Discover the beautiful excess that remains when everything else has been stripped away.
