The Readiness

A collection of contemporary poetry exploring modern life, nature, and the human condition.

Alan Gillis's The Readiness delves into the complexities of our world with a unique blend of lyricism, grit, and humor.

From urban landscapes to personal introspection, Gillis captures the essence of modern existence.

Set against the backdrop of Hamlet's wisdom, this volume reminds us to be ready for whatever comes our way.
