“i learn more in this moment

than in any moment that came before.”

In ‘you’re welcome and i apologise’ Jake Moss writes about the impact of sitting by a loved one’s hospital bed the day of their passing.

In the rest of the book, Moss uses poems to express his feelings on regret, the future, comedians, back to school sales, tina fey, his childhood, and fruit cake, as well as his experiences with homelessness, relationships, flowers, board games, religion, siblings, and more.

“For Jake, life is art and art is life. As these beguiling poems show, this is an examined life and veracious art. As in any great love affair, the mundane mixes with the memorable to produce the sometimes magical. An irresistible read.” - David Berthold
