A Manual of Disappearances is a strange, tender, and atmospheric poetry collection for readers who love conceptual writing, prose poems, art books, and quiet surrealism. Across 100 poetic "methods, " the book turns vanishing into an art form. Each page imagines a different way of disappearing: into mist, dust, moss, wallpaper, candle smoke, rain smell, old paper, drawer scent, rust, silence, warmth, or light.
These are not violent disappearances, but soft transformations - ways of becoming less separate from the world. Part ritual manual, part museum catalogue, part book of impossible instructions, A Manual of Disappearances invites readers into a world where ordinary things become metaphysical: a loose button becomes a philosophy, a tea stain becomes memory, a final page becomes silence. Perfect for lovers of experimental poetry, lyrical prose, surreal chapbooks, conceptual art, and beautifully melancholic writing, this collection is a haunting guide to fading, remaining, and being gently absorbed by the world.
