The failure in our living by Edward Lee
Dying where we stand, slouched, our eyes closed, hands covering our ears, one could almost imagine the world has stopped revolving, a silent protest against our collective indifference of the rot that festers in the deep wake of the footsteps stretching behind us, akin to all the possibilities that live inside us unrealised, endlessly unrealised.
Edward Lee’s poetry, short stories, non-fiction and photography have been published in magazines in Ireland, England and the United States, including “The Stinging Fly,” “Skylight 47,” “Acumen and Smiths Knoll.” His debut poetry collection Playing Poohsticks On Ha’Penny Bridge was published in 2010. He is currently working towards a second collection.
