The Word For Rain Is Rain

A new collection of over one hundred very short poems (9 lines or fewer) by M. C. Rush which mines a similar vein as his earlier book, Trajectory (2022). Rush continues to investigate themes ranging from life and death to love and loss, asking again and again what one's place is (or can be, or should be) in a world such as this. Each of these small poems is a microcosm that, read, expands (and often explodes) with a compelling vision that carries the reader in unexpected and often enlightening directions.
