Close Enough to Break is a collection of poems born from the tension between holding on and letting go. Through raw honesty and steady reflection, Ken Neider traces the arc of a love that shaped him, broke him open, and ultimately led him back to himself. These poems explore longing, silence, vulnerability, faith, and the quiet work of rebuilding a steadier heart. Written in the middle of real transformation, this collection invites readers into the intimate moments that change us; where truth begins, where healing hurts, and where a man learns to stand on his own without hardening his heart.
Close Enough To Break
Author’s Name: Kenneth Neider
About the Author: Ken Neider is a California craftsman, poet, and storyteller whose work is shaped by real love, real loss, and the slow rebuilding that follows both. Known for writing with an unfiltered emotional clarity, he captures the tension between vulnerability and strength, the place where most people quietly live. His work often explores faith, identity, healing, and the courage it takes to stay open after being hurt. Close Enough to Break is his debut full-length collection, written in the middle of a season that reshaped him. When he isn’t writing, Ken builds homes, restores spaces, and keeps growing into the man he’s becoming.
