About This Book
A collection of lyrical and narrative poems that alternates reflective verse with vivid scene-paintings, ranging from meditations on time, faith, and art to dramatic recreations of mythic and contemporary incidents. Several sequences present city and seaside tableaux, religious observance, and classical allusion, while others adopt local color in Welsh and Breton-derived pieces. The tone moves between solemnity and sensuous description, exploring loss, memory, devotion, and human frailty across varied settings and voices, and concludes with translations and shorter narrative lyrics that foreground folklore and intimate moral dilemmas.
