Seit sein Hund Lola gestorben ist, kann den kleinen Niklas nichts mehr erfreuen. Alles ist in Traurigkeit gehüllt. Selbst wenn er mit seinen Freunden spielt, ist es nicht mehr so wie früher. Die Erde sieht dunkler aus als sonst, die Nässe ist nasser und die guten Schuhe drücken, wenn er rennt. Niklas fragt sich, ob Trauer je verschwinden kann, wenn doch alles vergeht - selbst die Schönheit der Welt... Oder ob man verlernen kann diese Schönheit zu sehen? Eines Tages lernt er einen alten Mann kennen, der immer allein auf einer Bank sitzt und in die Sonne blinzelt oder in den Schnee starrt.

Denise Riley has pursued her singular path with a determined disregard for poetic fashion: a poet of immense musical gifts and formal skill, as happy in traditional forms as experimental, her non-alignment with any ‘tribe’ has led to a rich and various poetry that, while densely allusive and intellectually uncompromising, remains emotionally open towards the reader at the most profound level. Say Something Back, her lyric meditation on bereavement, won Riley universal acclaim - and a wide and long-deserved readership.

The Back of Your Pickup: Poems of Love, Loss, and the Roads That Never Led Home. I remember the summer heat sticking to my skin, the radio humming a song we half-knew, and your hand tapping the steering wheel like you had nowhere to be but everywhere to go. The back of your pickup wasn’t just a truck bed—it was a church, a confessional, a place where love was whispered under a sky too big for the things we couldn’t say. The Back of Your Pickup is a collection of poetry that lingers in the spaces between love and loss, between leaving and staying, between who we were and who we became.

Divine Madness: A Dark Poetry Collection beckons you into the depths of the human psyche, inviting you to explore the turbulent landscapes of the mind and embrace the haunting allure of poetic madness.
