Lyrical poems excavating cultural myths and contradictions, offering wit and tenderness to resist violence.

This collection is for readers who appreciate thought-provoking poetry, cultural analysis, and emotional depth. Discover a world where myths intertwine with reality, and where the power of language offers a means to resist the darkness.
