About This Book

A collection of modernist poems alternates dramatic monologues and lyric sketches that probe individual consciousness amid city life. A persistent speaker registers indecision, social anxiety, aging, and thwarted desire through vivid, fragmented images of streets, rooms, and seascapes. Recurring motifs—time, ritual, memory, and decay—shape moments of ironic self-examination and paralysis, often undercut by dark humor and cultural references. The sequence moves between intimate interiority and detached urban observation, deploying striking metaphors, abrupt shifts in voice, and classical and literary allusion.
