About This Book

The collection gathers lyrical poems that meditate on transience, autumnal dusk, memory and longing, often through natural and classical imagery. Poems alternate intimate domestic scenes, night elegies and mythic invocations with maritime and martial tableaux; recurring motifs include the changing seasons, sleep and dreams, aging and death, and the artist's role. The tone moves between quiet resignation, mournful remembrance and occasional ecstatic celebration, using condensed, musical language.
