ST(R)AY

This book is a meeting place.

Black-and-white film photographs by Nick Maroudis sit alongside poems by Marilyn Braendeholm, each page holding a small moment of attention. A dog crossing a road. A pause in passing light. A life moving quietly alongside our own.

These are not stories of rescue or loss. They are simply what is there, if we stop long enough to see it. Presence. Survival. A kind of dignity that does not ask to be noticed, yet remains.

Printed on premium matte paper, ST(R)AY is a quiet book. It doesn’t explain. It doesn’t insist.

It waits.

And if you pause, it will meet you there.

“ST(R)AY” is published and available to preview and purchase at Blurb Publishing’s Worldwide Store.

    1. A remarkable journey where I heard their footfall following me — for two years. One day, perhaps, I will greet them in person.
