Coils of Mortal Flesh

Coils of Mortal FleshThe diverse voices in the poems in this collection are unified in the single voice of the omnipresent persona who appears to be searching for a collective voice, some kind of order or rhythm that would impose meaning to life. Reading the poems constitutes an individual journey. This poetic journey from Awakening that takes the reader to Moonlight Spells & Wreaths and leads her him through Laments to the Epilogue is a continuous movement in the search
