In Gloves, Hugo Searcher presents a poetic collection woven from rich analogies and evocative metaphors. Each poem explores the tender and turbulent spaces of the human heart, imagining thoughts and emotions as if carefully shaped—and sometimes concealed—within a single intimate gesture: the giving or wearing of gloves.

Searcher’s verses trace the textures of vulnerability, longing, healing, and connection. Some gloves are soft and comforting; others are frayed, mismatched, or left behind. Through these images, the collection reveals how love can protect, expose, transform, or restrain us—often all at once.

Layered, lyrical, and deeply human, Gloves invites readers to slip their own hands into these poetic creations and feel the contours of emotions that bind us to one another. It is a meditation on the ways we hold love—and the ways love holds us.

Perfect for readers who appreciate intimate, metaphor-driven poetry and anyone drawn to the quiet complexities of the heart.
