About This Book

The collection is a sequence of lyrical poems that move between intimate domestic moments, nature and city imagery, and wartime reflections. Several pieces register personal grief and tribute to loved ones lost, while others probe longing, nostalgia and the habits of everyday people rendered with quiet intensity. Tone shifts from wistful to resolute, with direct addresses to absent companions, small-scene poems capturing seasonal or urban detail, and meditations on continuity and what endures after loss.
