A silver pool

A kaleidoscope of verse opens this collection, inviting listeners into a world where emotions pulse like water in a silver pool. The poems move from quiet reverence for fleeting love to vivid encounters with mythic figures, each stanza shimmering with the cadence of a song. The poet’s voice weaves together street‑level scenes—a beggar offering a laurel seedling, a carnival rose exchanged in silence—with larger, dream‑like landscapes of seas, stars, and ancient rites. In doing so, the work balances intimate confession with grand, almost cinematic, imagination.

When read aloud, the language feels musical, each line a gentle refrain that lingers in the mind. Listeners will hear the rhythm of a heart beating against the wind of the Seven Hills, the hush of a lantern’s glow, and the echo of a distant drum. The collection rewards quiet moments, offering a tapestry of wistful longing, bright humor, and haunting beauty that feels both timeless and freshly resonant.
