Limerence in Black and White, by Nick Canada

Prose poetry, chapbook, 24 pages, from Bottlecap Features.

Memories, dreams, and things we just can’t have. Limerence in Black and White is a prose/poetry hybrid collection that accentuates the turbulent echoes of obsession and regret. It’s a chapbook in which the author asks aloud: What does it mean to be the source of our own personal hell? What does it take to finally let go? Is healing a reachable destination?

From mystic visions to cinematic reflections, this collection is more than a collage of past lives. While most manuscripts turn unspoken thoughts into polished vinyl pressed in a New York studio, Limerence in Black and White is a raw mixtape of confessions, captured on a portable cassette recorder during a cold Ohio night. When you’re ready, press play.
