Eyeshine

A collection of lyric poems that travel between coastal and inland landscapes, domestic vignettes, and surreal conceits. The verses juxtapose vivid natural imagery—sea, islands, tropical foliage—with intimate scenes of family, solitude, and ageing, often shifting into grotesque or whimsical personae such as a giant inhabiting a kneecap. Recurring motifs include memory, mortality, art and the act of observation, and many pieces read as concentrated ekphrases or mood studies. The sequence alternates densely imagistic shorter pieces with reflective longer meditations, producing a mood of elegiac curiosity and restless attention to sensory detail.
