August 2025 - A striking new voice in contemporary poetry emerges with A Forgotten Piece of Furniture, the debut collection from Some Poet — a heartfelt and thought-provoking exploration of love, hope, and the human journey through darkness toward light.
Written over the course of a decade, A Forgotten Piece of Furniture gathers poems that reflect deeply personal observations and universal truths. With a style rooted in free verse and stream of consciousness, Some Poet crafts intimate, vivid pieces that invite readers to reflect on their own experiences of love, struggle, and transcendence.
I wrote these poems in the hope that they might brighten even just one person’s day. They speak to the challenges of finding and giving love, even when life feels dark; of noticing and helping others in need; and of holding onto hope when it seems most elusive.
Some Poet
This diverse collection, begun without a predetermined theme, evolves into an honest meditation on the fight to overcome inner and outer darkness. With subtle spiritual undertones — conveyed without overt religious language — and occasional moments of humor, A Forgotten Piece of Furniture balances gravity with warmth, offering both solace and inspiration.
Some Poet’s work is characterized by its sincerity, accessibility, and ability to capture fleeting yet profound emotions. At times descriptive and picturesque, at others contemplative and raw, the poems reflect a decade’s worth of noticing, feeling, and striving.
For readers of contemporary poetry, particularly those drawn to free-verse expressions of love, hope, and resilience, A Forgotten Piece of Furniture offers a fresh and authentic perspective — a quiet testament to perseverance, empathy, and the power of words to connect us.
A Forgotten Piece of Furniture by Some Poet is now available wherever books are sold.
