Description
A searching and emotionally charged collection of lyric poems, this book explores the intimate territories where desire, memory, identity, and mortality intersect. With characteristic intensity and psychological depth, the poems transform deeply personal experience into broader meditations on what it means to be human—confronting vulnerability, alienation, love, and the struggle to make meaning from the past. Marking a significant development in the poet’s celebrated body of work, the collection combines formal ambition with a fiercely direct, compassionate voice.
