About This Book

A varied collection of poems that moves between mythic vision and everyday observation, offering dramatic tableaux, meditative lyrics, and occasional narrative sketches. Many pieces probe mortality, faith, and artistic vocation, while others attend to nature, storms, and urban hardship, often using vivid sensory imagery. Voices shift from prophetic and elegiac to ironic and tender, employing formal variety from quatrains and odes to freer forms. The overall arc balances imaginative myth-making with sober moral reflection, producing moments of lyric beauty alongside contemplative, sometimes bleak, social and spiritual enquiry.
