Fading Light: Echoes of a 90s Childhood - Paperback

by Trevor Wright (Author)

Some places stay with you long after you have left them.

Fading Light is a debut poetry collection that walks the line between memoir and elegy - 86 poems about a 1990s childhood in Cherry, Illinois and what it costs to look back. The summer evenings, the screen doors, the people who were there. And the slow, particular ache of realizing the light has changed and you can't change it back.

These poems remember childhood. They also reckon with it.

For anyone who is homesick for a time they can't go back to.
