Artemis to Actaeon, and Other Verses

A strikingly lyrical tapestry, this volume gathers a series of poems that weave together ancient myth, personal reverie, and bold meditation on art and mortality. The poet moves fluidly from the churning tension of Artemis and Actaeon to quieter reflections on the fleeting pulse of life, inviting listeners to linger on each image. The language is richly textured, packing vivid natural detail with philosophical sighs that feel both timeless and immediate.

Divided into three parts, the collection moves from mythic confrontations to intimate meditations on grief, love, and the relentless quest for meaning. Highlights like “Life,” “The Mortal Lease,” and the haunting “Orpheus” echo with echoes of ancient shrines while breathing contemporary urgency into each line. Listeners will find the poems both a challenge and a comfort, as they balance dense, musical phrasing with moments of quiet wonder that linger long after the last stanza.
