Waiting for Gravity: poetry from the edge of the ledge

By J.L. Pete

Waiting for Gravity is a poetic journey through heartbreak, healing, self-discovery, and the quiet hope that lingers between endings and beginnings. Told through the voice of Olive-a character first introduced in The Other Side of Nothing-this collection blends fiction and truth, memory and imagination, to capture the ache of human experience and the beauty of what remains when everything else falls away.

Divided into sections that mirror the emotional stages of a soul unfolding, these poems explore lost love, lingering ghosts, spirals of self-doubt, and the gentle flickers of light that eventually lead us forward. From whispered regrets to resilient realizations, this collection doesn't shy away from the shadow-but always seeks the truth inside it.

For anyone who has ever waited for something to make sense, for closure that never came, or for gravity to pull them back to solid ground-this book is for you.
