Poetry by Sam Aureli

Writing from the quiet edge, where language meets landscape, and the search for meaning walks beside wind, water, and wild things.

New Book Release!

I’ve spent the last several years writing slowly, often without knowing where the work was going, only trusting that paying attention mattered. On the Edge of Knowing grew out of that. These are poems shaped by seasons, grief, stillness, and the small mercies that keep showing up anyway.

If you’ve found something here that made you pause or feel less alone, this book is an extension of that listening.

“I am circling around God, around the ancient tower, and I have been circling for a thousand years, and I still don’t know: am I a falcon, a storm, or a great song?”

— Rainer Maria Rilke
