At Least the Ocean Will Stay gathers poems and brief prose pieces that circle love, loss, absurdity, and the quiet ways we survive a world that seems to end again and again. Moving through intimacy, depressive stretches, grief, and flashes of humor, the collection traces relationships, bodies, cities, belief, and the small sustaining rituals that let us continue. Written over five years, these pieces are tender, sometimes shattering, sometimes wry, and rooted in the sense that even as everything else falls away, something endures.
