Nothing Assumed Carries

Nothing Assumed Carries is a book of poems written from the inside of attention-where identity loosens, certainty thins, and experience is allowed to arrive without demand. Moving through landscapes, weather, loss, stillness, and everyday moments, these poems trace what remains when explanation falls away and life is met directly.The work does not seek to resolve suffering or transform it into meaning. Instead, it stays with what is human: fear passing through awareness, kindness opening without ownership, grief settling quietly in an empty room, joy appearing without promise. Land and body are inseparable here-bush, rain, breath, silence, and movement shaping perception as much as thought ever could.Grounded yet expansive, Nothing Assumed Carries invites the reader into a space where nothing needs to be fixed, mastered, or believed. What unfolds is not instruction but recognition-a listening that allows life to carry itself, unclaimed and whole. Gary Morgan writes contemporary poetry exploring ordinary life, silence, work, memory, and the lived experience of awareness. His work moves between social observation and contemplative writing, grounded in presence rather than belief.He lives and writes in Australia.Website:
