    About this ebook

    A critically acclaimed experimantal collection of poetry, or rather the story of a troubled soul in verse: the journey starts with the mysterious 'Ybo''; the mind is lost in psychedelic and foggy lines. Then Heav'n from Hell takes the reader into the conflict of the adolescent soul with predecessors, followed by flickers, minature spiritual landscapes that look at the Metaphysical Traditionto sketch subtle emotions. War, anger, frustration, love, confusion, death, religion and a dip into the erotic then lead to final burlesque.

      A Stay Against Confusion: On Why I Started Writing Poetry Again

      Jan 22, 2018

      When I really want to feel some measure of control, I write poetry. Poetry is shaped, while prose assumes the shape of the page. Other than indents for dialogue and new paragraphs, prose follows the path set by a document’s margins. We type and let t
