The Subtle Way of Losing Things

About the Book

The Subtle Way of Losing Things is a collection of poems written and collected in the span of eight years. These poems tell stories of heart break, the joy of loving, losing friends, growing up and growing old, and being lost in today’s busy and modern society. But in losing things, there is something to gain. Often we only look at the wilting flower, not seeing the emerging fruit that is born out of it. And whether it is wisdom, maturity, understanding, or the pruning of Time we get in this lifetime, it is up to us how to make the most out of it.
