About This Book

A lyrical collection that alternates exaltation and meditation, using sunlight, mythic and religious images, and vivid natural scenes to examine vitality, mortality, and moral tension. Several poems contrast heroic or sacred language with decay and hypocrisy, questioning faith, passion, and social decline while giving voice to grief and defiance. Others linger on rural labor, seasonal cycles, and intimate landscapes, offering mystic longing and consolation through the sensuous textures of sound, color, and memory.
