Description

A whirlwind of sound‑and‑sense, this collection bursts onto the listener’s ears with the reckless energy of early Dada. The verses tumble like a kaleidoscope of broken images—white giants, constellations of salt, fluttering insects and molten flames—all stitched together by a rhythm that feels both musical and chaotic. The poet’s voice swings between frantic chants, whispered absurdities, and sudden bursts of vivid metaphor, inviting you to ride the unpredictable current of each line.

The work revels in the collision of the mundane and the uncanny: surgical boats, trembling candelabras, spiraling letters from distant lands, and flora that turns into glass or steel. It’s a playground of invented words and fragmented thoughts that challenge conventional meaning while rewarding curiosity with moments of strange beauty.

Listen and let the surreal landscape unfold, where every phrase is a flash of color, a flash of noise, and a chance to hear language reinvented in its most liberated form.
