Polaroids of Tomorrow

Polaroids of Tomorrow captures the ache of living in an age of collapse-personal, political, and spiritual. In these unflinching poems, Andrew Lafleche photographs the present with the precision of an infantry soldier and the vulnerability of a man stripped bare. From war memories and failed marriages to late-night wanderings through Costa Rica's shadowed streets, Lafleche writes with a clear-eyed intensity that refuses sentimentality. The voice is confessional yet controlled, raw yet deliberate-an honesty few poets risk. Through sharp, cinematic verse, the collection confronts alienation, addiction, and the absurdity of modern survival. What emerges is a portrait of endurance: a poet wrestling to stay human in a world that keeps eroding. Polaroids of Tomorrow is both documentation and protest-a fierce, unsparing vision of what it means to persist when everything else has already been consumed by the flame. It's what remains when tomorrow finally arrives.
