About This Book

A collection of intense lyric poems that juxtapose quotidian scenes and stark imagery to probe love, longing, mortality, and existential unrest. The poems move between evening and morning settings, urban and rural details, and recurring motifs of wine, violence, memory, and solitude, alternating moments of tenderness with grotesque or morbid visions. Voices vary from melancholic introspection to ironic defiance, exploring desire, shame, and self-contempt alongside fleeting joy and sensory awakenings. Concise, often stark diction and vivid metaphors create a mood of unease and yearning, with repeated attention to bodily presence, death, and the limits of consolation.
