About This Book

A lyrical collection of poems that blends rural folklore, classical myth, and intimate observation. The verses move between playful fable and quiet unease, depicting pixies and charms, a miraculous donkey, echoes of Narcissus, haunted houses, sandhills, and domestic landscapes. Imagery of gardens, churchyards, shorelines, and moonlight anchors reflections on memory, childhood, desire, and loss. Some pieces use rustic humor and whimsical invention; others offer elegiac or uncanny moods. Short narrative sketches and compact lyric meditations emphasize atmosphere, seasonal detail, and the persistence of imagination within ordinary lives.
