About This Book

A collection of short lyric poems grouped into contrasting sections that alternate passionate yearning and urgent introspection. The speaker deploys vivid sensory imagery—night skies, sea, bed, wine, sun—and a musical cadence to examine desire, memory, routine, and the intimacies of loss. Poems often take the form of compact vignettes or fragmentary reflections, mixing irony about mortality with tender confessions and playful language. Recurrent motifs of sleep, dreams, and bodily sensation link private emotion to wider temporal and cosmic rhythms, producing a voice at once intimate, impulsive, and quietly resilient.
