To Stack Plates Large to Small or Reverse

By Eric Murphy

In "To Stack Plates Large to Small or Reverse," the poet invites readers on a journey through life's layered experiences, exploring the delicate balance between chaos and order. Each poem serves as a plate, carefully arranged in a sequence that reflects the complexities of existence, where moments of joy and sorrow, triumph and defeat, are stacked atop one another. The imagery of stacking plates becomes a metaphor for the human experience-how we build, dismantle, and sometimes even reverse the order of our memories and emotions. Through vivid language and intricate rhythms, the poet weaves together personal anecdotes and universal truths, creating a tapestry of reflections that resonate deeply with the reader. As you turn each page, prepare to encounter a landscape where the tactile nature of the physical world meets the abstract realms of thought and feeling. This collection challenges you to consider how you stack your own plates: Are they large memories burdening you, or small joys that you cherish? "To Stack Plates Large to Small or Reverse" is a poignant exploration of life's intimate moments and the art of arranging them into something beautiful.
