Fiction, Poems, and At Wits End Fragments

This site is home to At Wits End fragments—fiction, poems, and music written at the edge, where surface tension breaks and something truer begins to rise. These fragments are glimpses of meaning that arrive in quiet moments, often when the usual maps no longer apply.

Vince Tuckwood has written novels, composed music, and shared reflections that walk the line between visible structure and emotional truth. His work—collected here on vincet.net—draws on decades of creative practice and inner reckoning. This space holds room for those who sense that story can carry more than entertainment.

If you are drawn to poetry, literary fiction, and work that asks more than it answers, these pages may feel familiar. They are written for the reader who recognizes themselves in fragments, who feels the pull of pattern without needing it named.

Where At Wits End Fragments Begin

The phrase refers to writing that emerges at the edge of certainty. These are pieces that resist structure and embrace emotional clarity. Whether in prose, poetry, or music, the tone is unmistakable—intimate, liminal, sometimes strange. At Wits End is both a location and a state of being, where something essential finally has room to speak.

Readers who appreciate voices like Maria Popova, who find resonance in lyrical essays or nonlinear narrative, may feel at home here. The work lives at the intersection of craft and intuition, asking only that you pause, notice, and carry what you need.

You are welcome to explore, return, or simply rest here a while. These fragments are shared with care. Some will land softly. Some may stay with you. All of them come from the place called At Wits End.
