About This Book

A compact collection of lyric poems that moves between inward reflection and vivid external scenes, pairing images of conflict and longing for freedom with everyday labour, artistic striving, and natural landscapes. Brief numbered pieces and occasional longer meditations create a mosaic of seasonal skies, coastal and urban settings, memory, loss, and mortality. The speaker alternates between defiance and tenderness, exploring the act of making verse itself through concentrated sensory detail, stark metaphors, and spare, rhythmic lines that emphasize emotion, transience, and the persistence of creative impulse.
