Collection Overview

This is a collection of twenty-seven poems that run through varying themes of loss through death and the enjoyment of life.

Thematic Engagement

It offers a brooding philosophical engagement with the reader in some pieces; while in others, it elevates the imagination and moves beyond a purely physical experience.

Transcendental Quality

This transcendental quality is intricately woven into most of the poems.

Use of Metaphor and Nature

There is a delightful use of metaphor in many instances, like in the depiction of a bleeding sun and a frequent animation of nature.

Emotional Range

One will find a lot of somberness and sadness in some of the poems, but it also tells a story of renewal and hope.
