The Readiness

About this book

A collection of contemporary poetry exploring modern life, nature, and the human condition.

Alan Gillis's The Readiness delves into the complexities of our world with a unique blend of lyricism, grit, and humor. These poems measure our cultural landscape with love, pity, and sarcasm, inviting readers to reflect on the beauty and darkness that surround us. From urban landscapes to personal introspection, Gillis captures the essence of modern existence.

Set against the backdrop of Hamlet's wisdom, this volume reminds us to be ready for whatever comes our way. Discover a green world moving through us in slow motion, and find your mind lifted by the quake of recognition. The Readiness is a powerful and moving collection for readers of contemporary poetry and those seeking deeper meaning in the everyday.
