The Remaining Trouble and Other Battles

by Treavor Wagoner

The Remaining Trouble and Other Battles is a compilation of coming-of-age poems focused on conflicts within relationships—within the environment, with other people, and especially with the self. It arrives heartbroken and unsettled, which begins a journey through introspection and wonder. It seeks to understand the conflicted self and relationships after things fall apart.

Thanks to Treavor's visually inspiring language, The Remaining Trouble sweeps you up when you least expect it. This collection is best read in different places at different times and then reread, as the vast experiences contained within hold unquestionable truths each of us comes to discover. To read it is to resonate.

[Anita · Rating 4 out of 5]

I listened to the audiobook so I had a different (possibly enhanced) experience than if I had read the book. The poems in this book are thoughtful, emotional, and insightful. The author's introspection provides an opportunity to follow the journey and recognize the journey/struggle/trouble in my own life.
