Description
This landmark poetic sequence confronts the deepest questions of human existence: mortality, beauty, solitude, love, and the difficult possibility of transcendence. Moving between anguished invocation and luminous reflection, the poems explore humanity’s relationship to angels, nature, memory, and the fleeting world of lived experience. Richly philosophical yet intensely lyrical, the work transforms spiritual uncertainty into a searching meditation on how suffering and impermanence might be answered through art, attention, and inner change.
