Neil Hilborn

Neil Hilborn's highly anticipated second collection of poems, The Future, invites readers to find comfort in hard nights and better days. Filled with nostalgia, love, heartbreak, and the author's signature wry examinations of mental health, this book helps explain what lives inside us, what we struggle to define. Written on the road over two years of touring, The Future is rugged, genuine, and relatable. Grabbing attention like gravity, Hilborn reminds readers that no matter how far away we get, we eventually all drift back together. These poems are fireworks for the numb. In the author's own words, The Future is a blue sky and a full tank of gas, and in it, we are alive.

The Future

High Fidelity

I DON’T NEED TO HAVE A BETTER DAY, I NEED TO FEEL BETTER ABOUT THIS ONE

back before I said anything about my doubts, my doubts, god, they feel so stupid now, now that we’ve learned how to say to each other more than “I’m afraid.” Now my only doubt is that all our clothes will get into this closet. I might have to get rid of some books. Small price for knowing I get to sleep next to you again.
