A voice this urgent, this true, is a cause for celebration.

Polaroids of Tomorrow is not a gentle collection. It’s a confession caught mid-collapse—sharp, restless, and unflinchingly honest.

Moving through addiction, fractured relationships, spiritual hunger, masculinity, and the quiet violence of modern life, Andrew Lafleche writes like a man documenting himself in real time—before the story can be cleaned up, before the lie can settle. These poems read like snapshots taken seconds before impact: hotel rooms, foreign streets, bar stools, hospital memories, and the long echo of choices that don’t quite feel like choices anymore.

There is no safe distance here.

Sobriety and relapse circle each other. Love appears, dissolves, returns as memory. God is invoked, doubted, and wrestled with. The world—politics, war, culture—bleeds into the personal until there is no clear boundary between the two.

What emerges is a voice that is brutally self-aware, often darkly humorous, and relentlessly searching. A voice that understands the tension between destruction and redemption—and refuses to resolve it neatly.

For readers of raw contemporary poetry, existential literature, and authors like Bukowski, Knausgaard, or Tao Lin, Polaroids of Tomorrow offers something rare: not answers, but recognition.
