To forgive existence is a great moral achievement, to say, though I have suffered much, it is well with me. It was worth my while.
This is the guiding idea of Being, Ecstasy, and Lamentation, the theme that connects all its parts.
Being, Ecstasy, and Lamentation contains 21 pieces, 20 poems and 1 short story. Each are free-standing, though they compliment each other and keep the same tone. They touch on issues like death-acceptance, meaning in a finite life, and religion.
Each piece is accompanied by a custom illustration. It is a short, concentrated book with a minimalistic feel.
Try out the first piece if you're on the fence (free to sample).
