Relationships can be exhilarating, devastating, rejuvenating, and terrifying. Sometimes these all happen in the same breath, and other times they slowly materialize over the course of several years. In The Zero Years, author Domenic Blair offers a deeply personal set of autobiographical poems based on a series of life- and soul-changing events. Centered on the rise and fall of a single relationship, these poetic verses trace the love, loss, depression, and growth surrounding a passionate yet ultimately unsuccessful romance. Using rhythmical structures in addition to free verse, these poems openly express intimacy and passion as well as darker topics such as drug addiction and anxiety to illustrate Blair's profound journey. Broken into various sections including "Her Smile, " "Her Taste, " "The Last Promise to Break, " and "Older Ghosts, " these pages chronicle a couple's relationship from their initial meeting, to falling in love, to breaking up, to reigniting their passion only to have it left in ruins again. Full of life, pain, and heartbreak, Blair puts his soul to words to help bring healing to anyone looking for meaning in the midst of loss.
