Exquisite.

Spring, Summer, Winter, Fall is a brutally honest collection of contemporary poetry that moves through love, addiction, war, loss, and the quiet moments where a life begins to fracture.

Written in a voice that refuses ornament and rejects comfort, Andrew Lafleche strips poetry down to its most dangerous form: truth without anesthesia.

Across more than 200 poems, these pages explore:

• the aftermath of war and the psychology of survival
• addiction as ritual, refuge, and slow erosion
• relationships that collapse under the weight of honesty
• the tension between faith, nihilism, and meaning
• the small, daily negotiations required just to keep going

Some poems are a whisper.

Some are a confession.

Some feel like they shouldn’t have been written at all.

And that’s exactly why they matter.

If you’ve ever:

• stared at the ceiling at 3:00 a.m. wondering how it got this far
• mistaken numbness for peace
• stayed when you should have left
• left when you should have stayed

—you’ll find yourself somewhere in these pages.

Perfect for readers of:

• Rupi Kaur
• Ocean Vuong
• Charles Bukowski
• Michael Faudet
• Atticus

—but written with a sharper edge, darker honesty, and no interest in pretending things get better just because they’re supposed to.
