In this bonus episode, I read one of the central poems from my book This Book Is Expensive: a raw, mythic meditation on endurance, self-exile, and the brutal necessity of moving forward even when the world behind you has rotted away.This piece traces the solitary traveler who walks through barren steppes, mockery, spiritual desolation, and pursuit, only to discover that meaning is not a destination but a continuous act of motion. The poem moves through loneliness, fleeting beauty, illusion, the threat of wolves and winter, the temptations of despair, and the strange liberation that comes when nothing remains but the next step.This reading is for anyone who has left something toxic behind… and found the path forward to be just as unforgiving, but somehow more honest. It is for those who persist without promise, who walk without guarantee, and who know intimately that the journey itself is the gift.As always, sit back, relax, and enjoy.
