Bela Tristan’s collection, ’Howl of the Ocean’, is a raw and unflinching journey through the tumultuous terrain of adolescence and early adulthood. In these introspective and confessional poems, Tristan delves deep into the psyche of a young woman as she grapples with the profound changes and challenges that come with growing up. The verses provide an unfiltered glimpse into the poet’s inner world, where the pain of disconnection, the weight of the world’s suffering, and the solace of the night are all laid bare. With a powerful blend of emotion and imagery, ’Howl of the Ocean’ resonates with anyone who has faced the shadows of their past, wrestled with the meaning of life’s trials, or sought refuge in the darkness of the night. Tristan’s work is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of the human experience, offering both solace and a poignant reminder that in our darkest moments, we are not alone.
