In The Weight of Quiet Things , Shane M. Dargan gathers the small sacred details of life—memory, family, loss, and becoming—and holds them gently to the light. These poems honor what often goes unnoticed: the bonds between generations, the quiet rituals of daily life, and the fragile beauty of human connection. With tenderness and clarity, Shane reminds us that the quietest things often carry the greatest weight. Shane M. Dargan is a poet, father, and grandfather whose work explores memory, family, and the search for meaning in the everyday. Born in East Orange, New Jersey, and now based in Georgia, he writes from a lifetime of experiences across family, travel, and his career. The Weight of Quiet Things is his debut collection, published under Echoes of Life LLC.
