The Poetry of the Dust is a powerful and visceral collection of poems that journeys through the centuries, capturing the eternal rhythms of love, loss, and what it means to be human. Beginning in ancient Egypt during the pre-dynastic period and spanning through Ancient Greece, the age of saints and miracles, and into contemporary times, this collection brings history to life with emotional resonance and lyrical intensity.

At the heart of this collection are two haunting motifs: the nightingale, a timeless symbol of beauty and reflection, and the Passerby, a shadow self that quietly embodies the darker parts of our nature. These themes echo across millennia, connecting the personal and the universal in a way that invites readers to recognize themselves in the echoes of history.

From mourning a child in the desert sands to celebrating love under a modern pagan sky, each poem offers a mirror, sometimes tender, sometimes raw, but always honest. For lovers of historical reflection, emotional depth, and poetic storytelling, The Poetry of the Dust is a timeless exploration of the spirit and the soul.
