About the Poetry Collection:

The Butcher’s Block is a deeply personal and reflective collection exploring familial relationships, life, and loss. Through the lens of his own upbringing, Shane confronts grief and the lasting impact of his father’s death , seeking to understand loss and its echoes in everyday life. Infused with existential reflection and influenced by Greek mythology, this collection blends memory, observation, and poetic introspection. With a voice that is both intimate and universal, Shane crafts a poignant meditation on love, absence, and the passage of time.
