Description
A haunting, inward-looking collection of poems that explores childhood, mythology, religion, nature, and the difficult terrain of love. Drawing on fairy tales, biblical narratives, seasonal rituals, and the quiet gestures of everyday life, the poems transform familiar images—houses, orchards, flowers, and fading light—into sources of mystery and emotional unease. With spare, lucid language and delicate yet unsettling imagery, the collection examines grief, memory, isolation, kindness, and the lingering power of the past. It is an early and significant work marked by an emerging poetic voice of remarkable restraint and intensity.
