About This Book

A lyrical collection that moves between mythic retellings, pastoral and still-life meditations, dramatic scenes of battle and voyage, and intimate elegies on love, memory, and death. Poems shift voice and form to combine vivid sensory detail—landscape, sea, food, and domestic objects—with speakers who invoke gods, warriors, and lovers. Formal variety and concentrated imagery probe desire, loss, fate, and the persistence of beauty amid transience, often blending narrative fragment and reflective lyric to examine the human relation to elemental forces.
