About
In 2023, CS Parker invites us to journey through a year marked by change, uncertainty, and resilience. These poems are an intimate reflection on the emotional contours of a world that feels both fragile and formidable, where moments of quiet beauty exist alongside the urgency of our global challenges. With a keen eye for the personal and the political, Parker crafts verses that pulse with the rhythm of time, capturing the complexity of living in a moment where everything seems to be shifting beneath our feet.
Through the lens of 2023, Parker's poetry speaks to the ways in which individuals and societies navigate the tensions of progress, loss, hope, and despair. It's a year caught between reflection on what has been and anticipation of what could be, a space where the past lingers in our minds and the future is uncertain yet beckoning. The collection explores the intersections of personal identity, social justice, and the environmental reckoning that defines our times.
Each poem in 2023 is a meditation-sometimes tender, sometimes sharp-on the small and large acts of survival and transformation that define the human experience. Parker's words offer both clarity and ambiguity, creating a landscape that is at once intimate and expansive, capturing the deep contradictions that shape our world today.
2023 is a book for anyone who has felt the weight of this moment in history, who has searched for meaning in the chaos, and who continues to hope, fight, and dream. In this collection, Parker has created a space where readers can pause, reflect, and find resonance in the raw beauty of language and emotion.
