Presentiment is the weird gut feeling that something’s coming—you just don’t know what. Like déjà vu but pre-vu. A dog alert to someone at the door before the knock.
In this intimate follow-up to In the College at Night, Bryant Alexander Loney traces the uneasy arc of growing up, messing up, holding on, and letting go. From middle school crushes to summer camp escapes, fleeting beach romances to quiet heartbreaks, these poems tightrope the blur between memory and meaning, humor and honesty. Throughout, Loney explores how poetry can reshape the past even as we try to preserve it.
If you’ve ever sensed a stirring just out of view, this collection is for you.
