Scott Burton Releases Chaos: A Study of Distance
S For Story/10667560
A Poetic Reflection on Connection, Loss, and the Spaces That Remain
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. - s4story -- Poet and author Scott Burton unveils the fifth installment of his emotionally resonant Chaos series: Chaos: Volume 5 – A Study of Distance. Known for his raw introspection and lyrical prose, Burton's newest release explores the quiet unraveling of connection—not just between people, but within ourselves.
In A Study of Distance, Burton turns his focus to the invisible spaces that grow between us: in unsent messages, in memories that outlast the people who made them, and in the echoes of love that never quite let go. With each piece, he maps the emotional landscape of separation—how it reshapes identity, redefines intimacy, and leaves behind a different kind of wholeness.
"Some distances never close," Burton writes. "You just learn how to live with the space." It's that quiet, often unspoken ache that defines this volume—where absence becomes presence, and healing isn't about forgetting, but about learning to carry what still lingers.

A Study of Distance deepens that journey with reflections on unspoken goodbyes, the ghosts of old versions of ourselves, and the resilience found in finally letting go.
Each entry is a standalone meditation, but together, they form a narrative arc—one that moves from drifting apart to rediscovering the self that survived the distance.
Chaos: Volume 5 – A Study of Distance is available now in paperback online through major retailers and paperback and Kindle through Amazon. Find out more at www.ScottBurtonAuthor.com.
