About this listen

The Back of Your Pickup: Poems of Love, Loss, and the Roads That Never Led Home.

I remember the summer heat sticking to my skin, the radio humming a song we half-knew, and your hand tapping the steering wheel like you had nowhere to be but everywhere to go. The back of your pickup wasn’t just a truck bed—it was a church, a confessional, a place where love was whispered under a sky too big for the things we couldn’t say.

The Back of Your Pickup is a collection of poetry that lingers in the spaces between love and loss, between leaving and staying, between who we were and who we became. These poems are dirt roads and rusted-out radios, small towns and first kisses, memories that stick like pine sap long after you’ve driven away. For the ones who’ve loved hard and left fast. For the girls who learned to be soft in a world that told them to be tough. For hauntings of the people we used to be, still sitting in the places we left them. If you’ve ever loved someone who couldn’t love you back, if you’ve ever watched a place turn into a memory, if you’ve ever whispered your dreams to the stars above an open field—this book is for you.
