While Death Waits

While Death Waits is a groundbreaking collection of poems by Jamey Boelhower. This volume is titled after the moving initial poem that crystallized the last memory of the author's beloved mother, who sadly passed away recently. It explores a remarkable diverse range of emotions and experiences, in an attempt to cope with some challenging times.

Grief, which unfortunately has made its way into the author's life in recent years, takes center stage in a series of poems that explore the enigmatic facets of life's fleeting nature. Mortality, loss, love, and longing are painted with words that are thought-provoking. While challenging, the poems are beautifully executed, creating a tapestry of words and feelings that will immediately resonate with the audience.

Jamey understands the expressive power of spoken word, and bridges the gap between traditional forms and the captivating energy of slam poetry. Drawing from experiences in slam events, the poet's verses are lively and vivid, offering a nuanced and engaging experience.

While Death Waits is not merely a collection of poems; it is a testament to the resilience, growth, and introspection that comes with having to face difficult times of profound life changes; something Jamey has experienced first-hand.
