It's Late - Poems

It's Late approaches the world with openness and affection, prioritizing wonder about plants, animals, and other people, as well as individual and communal pasts, presents, and futures as a guiding force. The voices behind these poems dwell in a state of perpetual curiosity. Colin Drohan's writing is full of awe but he also asks difficult questions about the world we inhabit and its present ecological crises, often discovering humor as a mechanism for real hope. It's Late imagines readers as close friends and confidants, written with a conversational quality that welcomes the absurdity of our daily lives.
