Against This Age

A collection of poems that probes urban modernity, loneliness, and aesthetic decadence through vivid imagery and jagged rhythms. Voices shift between intimate monologue, ironic portraiture, and brisk city scenes to examine alienation, desire, and the artist’s uneasy stance within commodified life. Nighttime and street settings recur, juxtaposing glamour and squalor, while playful language alternates with moral heat and satire. Short character studies, conversational pieces, and formal experiments combine into a varied sequence that interrogates social manners, mortality, and the imagination’s attempts to resist conformity.
