A poem from the book

Waste Your Morning

The song is Poet’s Midnight, from Morning & Midnight — now streaming.

“I threw my phone in the trash and spent a few years starting my mornings—and sometimes ending my nights—sitting in the forest alone.”

From the morning poetry journal

This isn’t a book to read front to back. Keep it close and open it anywhere — a page or two to make you stop, ponder, and want to go make something of your own.

I filled it while the Morning & Midnight albums were coming to life — poems, journal entries, letters, and drawings, most of them made by a little stove fire out in the East Texas woods, with my own drawings running all through it.

Two hundred pages to wander. Open to any one and see what it stirs — fuel for a quiet morning, a restless midnight, or whatever it is you’re trying to make.

A look inside

A dense, dreamlike pencil forest scene with figures resting among the trees and animals.
Featuring drawings by Ezra Vancil
A two-page spread: a poem on one side, a handwritten-style journal entry on the other, with a small drawing of flowers in a cup.
Open to any spread · 200 pages to wander

“Life’s too short to just copy. I want to know what’s in me.”

From the journals

And it comes with the music

Every copy includes the complete Morning & Midnight — both albums, twenty songs — yours to download and stream. The book is the way in.
