Seven Poems and a Fragment

These seven poems and a fragment sweep listeners into a twilight gallery where bells toll, wine glints, and spirits linger. The opening piece, set on All Souls’ Night, blends a playful banquet of muscatel with a meditation on love, death and the thin line between the living and the unseen. Yeats’s voice drifts from classical allusion to intimate confession, conjuring a black centaur on a dark border and a chorus of ghosts that demand both laughter and tears.

The collection moves through vivid snapshots—an Indian‑inspired soul journey, a fierce portrait of a woman aging in a world of fading beauty, and a restless friendship with a mythic MacGregor—each poem a compact, aromatic vignette. Listeners will find the language both sharp and musical, inviting quiet contemplation while still teasing the imagination with daring images. It feels like a night‑time walk through a museum of ideas, perfect for those who savor rich, slightly unsettling poetry.
