About This Book

The collection assembles vivid, hallucinatory poems that conjure decadent, often grotesque tableaux where human bodies and plant life intermingle, erotic desire and violence collide, and sacred spaces become sites of corruption. Images range from a poisoned, bleeding garden and barroom knife fights to sensual games beneath citrus trees and a novice's unnerving convent vision, all rendered in intense sensory language. Recurring motifs of bodily suffering, transgressive sexuality, and religious inversion produce a sustained atmosphere of feverish symbolism and moral disquiet.
