Description
In this vivid collection, the natural worlds of flowers and insects become a stage for encounters charged with beauty, menace, desire, and transformation. Drawing on close observation and a richly imaginative sensibility, the poems explore the intricate tensions between attraction and violence, fragility and survival, and the human impulse to find meaning in the living world. The result is a striking meditation on nature’s abundance and strangeness, rendered in language that is intense, precise, and unmistakably lyrical.
