Scott BurtonScott Burton is a writer, poet, and emotional essayist whose work explores the inner terrain of the human experience-grief, longing, memory, vulnerability, and the often-unspoken space between connection and loss. With a voice that is at once lyricaland grounded, Burton's writing resonates deeply with readers who feel too much, love quietly, and carry emotional histories that never fully leave them.As the author of the Chaos series, Burton has created a growing body of reflective work that bridges the gap between poetry and prose. Each volume in the series offers a distinct emotional exploration, guiding readers through personal and universal experiences such as silence, identity, distance, doubt, and resilience. His writing does not seek to provide answers, but rather to create presence-for the questions we carry, the truths we avoid, and the versions of ourselves we're still learning to hold.Chaos: A Study of Distance, the fifth volume in the series, delves into the invisible spaces that form between people over time. It is a meditation on what lingers after closeness fades and how we learn to live with the ache of what's no longer near. Like the other books in the series, it offers readers a quiet place to reflect on their own journey-one that acknowledges the pain of absence without abandoning hope.Scott Burton writes from lived experience and emotional observation. His early writing took shape during illness, recovery, and isolation, and continues to be shaped by his search for meaning in the margins of everyday life. He lives in North Carolina, where he writes in the quiet hours, crafting pages that remember, reach, and remain. Read More Read Less
