About This Book

A sequence of lyric poems gives voice to marginalized figures — a homeless companion, a caged eagle, a self-possessed passerby, the sick and the mourning — and meditates on freedom, shame, compassion, and yearning. The poems move between sharp social observation and intimate confession, using urban and natural images to oppose constraint and desire. Tones vary from bitter irony to tender consolation and moments of radiant affirmation, often framed by religious and domestic symbols. A predominantly female speaker addresses others directly, blending indignation, empathy, and concise lyrical clarity.
