In his anticipated second collection, Forgotten Necessities, Jared Singer wears love and loss on his skin.
Through spell-bindingly immersive storytelling, Singer digs to the roots of our deepest woes and cradles our joys with utmost tenderness. Intimacy and vulnerability ache across the time and space of these poems. Forgotten Necessities holds its sadness sacredly and builds shrines to the hope that follows. Persistent reminders of the small kindnesses that make a life meaningful to the living and the dead.
A brilliant follow-up to his debut, Singer's Forgotten Necessities is itself a necessity, a haunting that heals.
