About This Book

Lyric collection of poems that weave intimate nature imagery—night gardens, stars, jasmines, fire, frost—with mythic and visionary motifs, producing meditations on longing, silence, mortality, and poetic creation. The pieces shift between hushed interior scenes and expansive, restless landscapes, alternating resignation and ardent craving, memory and dream. Recurring elements include ritualized mourning, exile and homecoming impulses, and the tension between mute suffering and the need to speak. Formal sections group mood and subject, allowing brief narrative gestures alongside concentrated, imagistic lyricism.
