Through the rapidly altered perspectives of romantic relationship and the demands of economic recession, Little Empires pursues what it means to own your changing landscape. In a deft and pithy, elegantly nuanced and urbane style, Robert Colman charts awareness within our fragmenting society, where Tweets drown the present tense, and “purpose” loses its hold on sense. Out of it all comes an enriched appreciation of human connection.
"Colman’s subtlety and ease with language inform the observations he makes as he travels fearlessly into the realms of the past, the future; the unknown and perhaps unknowable landscapes of our relationships with others and with ourselves. Having read this beautiful collection, you will stop, catch your breath, and go back and read it again."
