Description

A turbulent collection of poems born amid the upheavals of 1915‑1916, this volume immerses listeners in a raw, almost feverish meditation on brotherhood and conflict. The verses swing between stark battle imagery and moments of fragile tenderness, drawing on mythic figures and everyday scenes to explore how war reshapes relationships, desire, and identity. The language is vivid and often unsettling, weaving together references to crusades, maternal archetypes, and the unsettling clash of love and violence.

Interspersed with fragmented dialogues and striking metaphors, the poet offers a kaleidoscopic view of a world on the brink of transformation. Each piece feels like a shout from a weary soul seeking solidarity while confronting the disorienting noise of modernity. Listeners will be drawn into the urgent cadence and haunting visual detail that capture both the desperation and the fleeting glimpses of hope within a generation scarred by war.
