    About this ebook

    The dark depths of humanity are explored, and laid bare, in this book of poetry. Death is analysed in all its stages, going from tributes to lost friends, to the acceptance of approaching death, and dissecting that short period of time that exists between life and death. Time is also studied from different perspectives, both the constancy of memory, and the effects those memories have on people as time passes. The author also takes a close look at the existential wanderings of the mind, and is not adverse to confronting the human condition in all its aspects.
