About This Book
A collection of lyric poems arranged in five parts explores recurring images of water, weather, and decaying urban and natural landscapes. The poems use vivid sensory and painterly metaphors—tongue as wave, rain as film, treasure ships, gathering of dead wood—to probe memory, desire, loss, and quiet revelation. Sections move from rain and whispered intimacies through testimony and burning to a closing sequence of reaped remnants, shifting between elegiac observation and surreal, imagistic flashes. Tone alternates between meditative stillness and charged, imagistic intensity, favoring concentrated visual description over narrative development.
