A child?s game carries the weight of war. A solar system rests in a palm. Before dawn, the edges of a room begin to shift.
In Inland, Ben Folk explores the worlds we carry within us-and what happens when we try to share them.
Across three sections, Worlds, Us, and Threshold, these poems move through family, remembered love, grief, work, and the uneasy promises of safety. Pacific Northwest shores meet distant planets; childhood play opens onto adult consequences; the familiar becomes strange enough to be seen again.
Written in spare free verse, the poems work through vivid images, abrupt turns, and moments of bodily recognition. Tenderness and dry humor coexist with dread. A father invents a history for a sword in a canyon. A daughter promises to raise him from the dead. Elsewhere, love offers shelter while quietly drawing its boundaries.
Inland asks how much of another person we can know, how much of ourselves we have inherited, and what remains when a memory, a certainty, or an imagined future begins to dissolve. It is a collection for readers drawn to intimate experience, unsettling imagery, and the possibilities of a world that never feels entirely settled.
