About This Book

A selection of lyrical poems drawn from the poet's recent volumes alongside new work, the collection moves between nature-focused lyrics, convivial vagabond songs, and meditative pieces that consider mortality and the soul's passage. Finely wrought musical lines and vivid imagery evoke marshes, twilight, sea and springtime, while recurring motifs of wandering, renewal, and spiritual searching provide cohesion. Individual poems shift from pastoral description to intimate reflection, balancing sensory celebration with contemplative inquiry.
