2015 A Poetry Collection by CS Parker Before the cracks became earthquakes, we were learning how to listen. In 2015 , CS Parker captures the quiet tension of a world shifting beneath the surface-where conversations once whispered began to rise, and silence was no longer safe. This collection explores a year defined by awakening: to identity, to injustice, to the stories we had buried too long. With verses that blend introspection and awareness, Parker moves through the emotional topography of a year shaped by protest and progress. From the rise of #BlackLivesMatter to marriage equality becoming law in the U.S., 2015 is both celebration and confrontation-documenting moments of profound joy and the haunting echoes of lives lost to violence and erasure. These poems linger in the spaces between headlines: the ache of watching another name trend for the wrong reason, the warmth of community forming in resistance, the tentative hope that maybe, finally, things were beginning to change. 2015 is not just poetry-it's a heartbeat, a question, a chronicle of the year we started looking harder at ourselves and the world we were building.
