We begin to age as soon as we are born.
The relentless creep towards darkness is ever-present. Sometimes it manifests in the quiet realities of human decline: an occasional headache turning to chronic migraines, or the heartbreaking fog of dementia. Other times, it slips into the surreal, wandering through otherworldly realms inhabited by angels, vampires, and lingering souls wondering if they can stay close to those they loved.
Compiled by The Part-Time Poets, In Sight of Darkness is a collage of poetry and verse that ventures into the shadows of human experience. Covering ageing, frailty, death and the mysteries of the great beyond, these commentaries refuse to stay entirely bleak. Instead, they are punctuated with an occasional flash of sharp, vital humour.
Every life is different, every experience distinct, and every soul unique.
Immerse yourself in this carefully crafted collection and discover a personal twist on the mysteries that bind us all. It may just alter the way you look at the coming darkness.
