About This Book
A sequence of poems moves between elegiac, celebratory, and visionary modes, evoking autumnal melancholy, the sea's force, and inner unrest. Intimate lyrical episodes of loss, longing, eroticism, and sacrifice alternate with satirical or prophetic pieces that interrogate faith, modernity, and cultural decay. The collection shifts between concise, image-driven lyrics and longer sequence poems that dramatize journeys, dreamlike apparitions, and mythic figures, and it closes with invocatory odes and an epilogue. Recurrent images—stars, waves, ruins, ritual—tie personal feeling to broader moral and existential questions, producing a modernist mix of formal play, dense metaphor, and tonal movement from lament to defiant affirmation.
