Norton Nearly

Stained White Shirt Norton Nearly

In Stained White Shirt, a Catholic School reference, Norton Nearly explores the deep stains of untimely death, lost love, addiction and survival. Regrets laundered by love are expressed through free verse and aphorism. Reading Nearly is like jumping into the shallow end of the pool. The bottom arrives fast, but the water is warm and safe once you are in and moving around. Real people will enjoy a swim through Norton's clever yet understandable imagery...a drowning staved off by simply standing up.
