The Hunker Down: 2025 Poetry Collection

Eric Nixon’s The Hunker Down continues his long-running tradition of annual poetry collections, offering 150 poems that chart a year of close attention and quiet persistence. These poems read like trusted confidences with observations of everyday beauty, reflections on loss, and moments of unexpected joy. Emerging from the rhythms of daily life, The Hunker Down invites readers to pause, reflect, and find comfort in the shared experiences of being a person in these times.
