His exploration of a world he believed he understood, but which had been turned upside down, resulted in the book Hard Drive. Through poems that are loving, introspective, occasionally humorous, and frequently startled by grief in unexpected places, the poet leads us through rooms, routines, and rituals of bereavement, the memory of love, a shared life, and separation. With a penchant for experimentation, pattern, and the use of constraints, Stephenson has produced a remarkable first book, moving and, despite everything, a hopeful record of a gay relationship. It is also a significant elegy collection.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePaul Stephenson's life was irrevocably altered when his partner passed away.
