Description

This early poetry collection explores the mysterious kinship between human beings, animals, and the natural world through vivid, often dreamlike imagery. Its poems move among wonder, mortality, spiritual unease, and the uneasy relationship between civilization and the wild, revealing a poet attentive to both the beauty and strangeness of language. Written during a formative period, the book marks a developing shift toward more experimental rhythms and irregular forms while retaining a lyrical, reflective intensity. Together, the poems establish an imaginative landscape in which the visible world becomes a gateway to deeper questions about existence, violence, and the limits of human understanding.
