Remember Me As A Time of Day

"this is our silhouetted haven,

slightly turned inward and away,

like the darkness that holds together

our universe.

we recite an elegy

to the unsung heroes of love,

which is our reminder of the

urgency to make the most of each

and every passing minute."

EXCERPT from Remember Me As A Time of Day

Stephan's collections have a captivating ability to transport readers to a precise moment in time and place. His musings may be centered around his observations, his loves, his parents, and his children, but inevitably his verses transform themselves into a reflective mirror that illuminates the reader's own experiences and perspectives.

For those who find solace in his meticulously crafted prose, poetry becomes a journey of exploration, and an eternal quest for answers to life's most poignant questions.

How do we navigate existence?

Whom do we love?

What have we lost or walked away from?

And what remains tightly clenched in our grasp, slipping away with each passing moment?

In his latest collection, Stephan offers a blend of memoir and poetic introspection. Each word carries the weight of lived experience, promising that both the joys and sorrows of life hold significance, whether fleeting or enduring. Readers will find themselves immersed in a tapestry of emotions, with each verse a poignant reminder of the ephemeral nature of existence.
