The Raven and Other Poems

A compact, haunting collection of Gothic lyricism that probes grief, obsession, and the boundary between imagination and the uncanny. The poems move from elegiac tenderness to brooding, eerie tableau, united by a mastery of rhythm and a gift for memorable refrains that lodge in the mind long after reading. Readers who value musical language, concentrated psychological intensity, and richly imagistic verse will find much to admire here; those seeking light comfort should prepare for beauty that unsettles as often as it consoles. This is poetry at once ornate and spare, ideal for anyone drawn to melancholy, the macabre, and the sheer craft of poetic voice.
