About This Book
A collection of short lyric poems and occasional longer meditative pieces that move between urban nightscapes, rural landscapes, and intimate scenes of love, sickness, and bereavement. The poems rely on vivid, often visceral sensory imagery—lights, weather, machine-noise, and bodily sensation—to register longing, anger, and yearning for human connection while confronting mortality and modern industrial pressures. Voices shift from observational street portraiture to personal confession, alternating compressed, imagistic lines with more expansive monologues. Recurrent motifs—seasonal change, water, mechanized towns, and bodily desire—produce a tense interplay of tenderness, bitterness, and a restless desire for renewal.
