About This Book

A collection of lyric poems organized into thematic sections that dwell on natural landscapes, seasonal change, and intimate emotion. Short, image-driven pieces range from moonlit nights and coastal scenes to autumnal boulevards and secluded woods, often pairing precise sensory detail with reflections on longing, love, memory, and mortality. Portraits of individuals and quiet elegies appear alongside meditations on stars and tides, producing a restrained, musical voice that emphasizes transience and beauty through concise, resonant language.

Dedication

At least I have loved you;

Though much went wrong,

This was good,

This was strong.

Unshaken

In spite of the going of years,

Too sure to retract,

Too proud for tears.

Let my love be the pillow

Under your head,

On your lips like a song,

To your hunger, bread.
