Speech Minus Applause

In this collection of poems, the interplay between introspection and memory unfolds as the speaker navigates a world where thoughts resonate louder than sounds. The imagery of a self-refilling dog bowl symbolizes the cyclical nature of existence and the transient connections with people and places. As the speaker explores themes of joy and grief, the poems blur the lines between dream and reality, inviting readers into a deeply personal yet universally relatable journey of self-discovery and reflection.
