I'll Leave a Light on for You: Poems

For anyone trying to find their way back to hope.

In I'll Leave a Light On for You, William Bortz weaves a haunting yet hopeful collection of poems that explore the body's relationship with joy and grief. From breakage, "This body is meant to break and from its shell light will pour out"--to coming back together--"two hands from two bodies placed / on top of one another creates a home", Bortz captures the lingering trauma, but also the persistence of hope and resiliency.
