Dark matter

Have you faced the darkness in you,
spoken to it in the dead of night?

Do you know what it wants?

'Dark Matter' is a collection of 12 charged, minimalistic poems primarily revolving around the theme of death.

The texts, loaded with visual imagery and fluctuating between wistfully lyrical and sharply disturbing, additionally explore multiple other topics such as trauma, disorders, and horror.

While unmistakably contemporary, the heavily confessional writing style also evokes distinct echoes of modernism and postmodernism.
