About This Book

A sequence of poems that shifts between intimate love, surreal imagery and collective anguish, employing repetition and abrupt juxtapositions to rearrange everyday objects and sensations. Verses move from sensuous evocations of bodies, eyes and rivers to compressed meditations on suffering, mortality and solidarity, with recurring motifs—night, light, the wound—binding discrete fragments. The work is organized in varied series that change tone and perspective, alternating tender address, experimental collage and austere statements. Sparse, urgent language collapses ordinary distinctions and yields a lyric voice that oscillates among celebration, uncertainty and mourning.
