Dancing for Mourning is a deeply introspective and lyrical collection of poetry that explores themes of grief, transformation and emotional renewal. The poems move through a range of states-despair, loss, longing-before gradually transitioning towards hope, healing, and transcendence. There is a constant interplay between the destructive forces of life and the redemptive possibilities of artistic expression, connection, and spiritual renewal. The writer's relationship with their emotions and the world around them evolves from one of profound suffering into one of acceptance and even joy. There is a sense of searching for identity, for meaning, and for connection-especially with the divine or the cosmic- toughing on existential themes. The collection explores love, art and self-discovery and the poems wrestle with the fragility of existence, yet they consistently point towards a kind of resilience that is almost spiritual in nature
