About This Book
A curated volume of lyric and dramatic verse that gathers long narrative poems, shorter lyrics, and two poetic plays revised for performance. The pieces draw on myth and folklore, musical and symbolist imagery, and quiet meditations on nature, love, aging, and the supernatural. Prefatory remarks and notes explain revisions and theatrical concerns, while the poems range from intimate songs to expansive, stage-minded scenes that emphasize mood, voice, and the interplay between pagan and Christian imagery.
