About This Book

A collection of poetic short stories and poems that alternates dramatic monologues, surreal vignettes, and reflective sequences. Urban tableaux of longing, vice, and mortality coexist with imaginative pieces that convert sound, music, and sensation into philosophical speculation. Voices shift from streetwise narrators and mortuary speakers to cosmic fantasists, while forms range from sonnets and dialogue-like sketches to extended meditations organized under thematic headings. Prominent motifs include irony, alienation, erotic longing, and artistic self-awareness, rendered in a concise, imagistic modernist idiom.
