The Liminal Light of the Night

These poems are powerfully evocative and slightly haunting, they bring up the uncomfortable, the lingering in-between and the tense thoughts that materialise as apparitions at nightfall when we are alone with our spirit and grief.

They occupy the liminal spaces we inhabit between the past and present and the ambiguous mind-frames that one is besieged by when approaching the threshold of light and clarity. ’The Liminal Light of the Night’ includes the poem ’Panacea’s Furnace’ which was an ’Honourable Mention’ for the Dark Poets Prize, 2024.

If you would like to experience and swim in a rollercoaster torrent of emotional dark hues and to mellow out into a meaningful read just before bedtime, this pamphlet is for you.

＂A profound adventure awaits those readers ready to immerse themselves in this unusually deep Little Black Book. It offers a glimpse into a highly personal look at the world and the alchemy of transformation from alienation to reconciliation, from despair to joyful wisdom, and from pain into the lightness of knowledge. Bravely and passionately written this little gem stands head and shoulders above the crowd.＂
