Waiting For You to Die Kendra Dolson

"In the midst of it all, we never really know anything; and this is all we know for certain. And quite certain to be uncertain, so terribly are we all afraid; each to his own, we show one and all in our own way: just how certainly we are afraid of what we do not know." "And in perusing the past few months and days and relationships and people and passions and-well-mostly just him-Jade thinks. For all of the intimacy, the talk, the letters, how he held her, how she kept him sane, how he kept her whole, the sweat, how he made her laugh, how he bought her roses and took care of her, how he loved her, of how she wept: she never saw his feet."Everything is connected as this book navigates a vivid, evocative dream like sea of lives and loss, and emotional fragments of full stories. Each person, might we only see them for a moment, has a depth just as deep as the next - and if you look for it in the small things and listen carefully, you will find this depth in the quiet. Like an abstract memoir, Waiting For You to Die is unique and rule-breaking; this book of short stories, poems, prose and illustrations is emotional, evocative, dark and inspiring.
