About This Book
The collection gathers lyric and prophetic poems that confront death, social collapse, and spiritual crisis with jagged imagery and bitter irony. Voices alternate between elegy, denunciation and fevered exhortation as the poet records battlefield horror, private bereavement and the unraveling of communal faith. Recurrent motifs include ruined rituals, shattered certainties, and the tension between longing for resurrection and fear of madness; staccato, incantatory lines evoke nights of terror, funeral processions, and riotous feasts of ruin. The overall mood moves between mournful remembrance and a defiant call for moral renewal, blending symbolist intensity with blunt political and existential urgency.
