About This Book

A lyrical collection that pairs brief, songlike poems with longer narrative ballads, moving between intimate, musical stanzas and dramatic storytelling. Themes include nature and seasonal atmosphere, longing and consolation, memory and mourning, and reflections on life, death, and renewal. Many pieces take the form of lullabies, evening songs, and pastorally inflected reveries, while the narrative poems deploy folk motifs and mythic encounters to examine loss, duty, and the persistence of the inner voice across changing landscapes.
