Endings: Poetry and Prose William Poe

Resentment, lost love, remorse, and death all feed into award-winning writer William Poe's new book Endings: Poetry and Prose.

One of the Best Self-Published Books of 2016--IndieReader

Poe, winner of the 2016 IndieReader Discovery Awards LGBT Fiction, returns with a new book dedicated to life's more dire experiences. A sharp contrast from his novels, which dealt with self-discovery and battling for a satisfying life, Poe's newest work pulls at your emotions from the other side of the spectrum. An artist makes a fatal decision all for the sake of art. A forgotten woman no longer cages her rage. A gay man struggles to find his place in the world. These are just some of the many narrative elements, as Poe writes about art, death, relationships, being, and reflecting. He writes in response to his own feelings of despair and loneliness as he captures the feeling of what it's like to be unfulfilled. The saddest times in life become prime material for this book of riveting short stories and poetry.
