The Ending I Imagined

"The Ending I Imagined" is the inaugural collection of poems by Seth Stewart, and acts as a literary magnifying glass hovering over our aunt's kitchen junk drawer. Small moments, bad weather, scuffed shoes, and daily cleaning are just a few examples of the author's quotidian subject matter. Like the quiet grief of simply living, each of these carefully crafted, short, and simple poems seems to shrink our lives into silly little nothings, and then swell them with so much meaning that we feel we might burst. "The Ending I Imagined" is ideal for the people who want to know why that single car in the parking lot saddens them, or when exactly the water stain on the ceiling started to look like someone they once loved.
