""You are walking down a quiet, narrow hallway. There is a grey rug before you, stretched out into the darkness at the end. You feel sombre and a little lost. Maybe you are in a castle. Maybe you are in a house you once knew. Wherever you are, you decide to walk. As you walk you notice there are doors on either side of you. This book is a collection of poems from the walls and rooms of this hallway. Most, I believe, are of people and places that are on the periphery of being forgotten. Most, I believe, are of people and places that never really were. So I invite you to explore this hallway. Open a door and see if you would like to go inside. I assure you, you will find something - I'm just not sure it's something you want to find. It is my hope that if you do choose to explore this place, it means something to you. Perhaps when you are ready to leave, you will take some of the writing with you as you go. Please remember, not all doors will open to show you what you are looking for. Please remember, not all doors will close.""
