About This Book

A lyrical collection of poems that moves between intimate scenes and wide landscapes, using concise images of sea, sky, birds, markets and city rivers to probe longing, exile and memory. The pieces contrast restless travel and serene domestic moments, shifting from storm-swept voyages to shaded acacia groves and evening bridges, while recurring motifs—wind, light, ash and song—bind reflections on transience, desire for belonging and the persistence of inner voices. Varied in tone from tranquil reverie to urgent ache, the poems favor sensory detail and musical phrasing to meditate on mortality, love and the elusive comforts of home.
