Minna and Myself

A compact collection groups lyrical sequences that alternate intimate addresses to a beloved figure and reflective meditations by the speaker, together with short poetic plays. The poems deploy dense, inventive metaphors and vivid urban and natural imagery to probe desire, memory, mortality, and the creative impulse, moving from tender lyric moments to ironic or grotesque tableaux. The dramatized pieces convert those concerns into stylized exchanges and symbolic set-pieces that interrogate beauty, death, and the maker’s authority, extending the book’s verbal daring into theatrical form while balancing decorative language with moments of stark, unsettling clarity.
