Publisher's Synopsis
Quietus Green delves into the depths of philosophical reflection through its evocative poetry. Metaphors dance like a Norwegian "nokken" in shadowy marshes, ensnaring readers with their deceptive allure. The collection highlights missed opportunities and the stark reality that redemption often eludes us. It captures the tumultuous journey from chaotic waters to a resigned acceptance of painful truths, where the past remains unchangeable. Through vivid imagery, the poems challenge us to confront our choices and the essence of our existence, revealing the haunting beauty of a world askew. Each poem serves as a reminder of lost potential, urging us to acknowledge the silence filled with what might have been. In this exploration, the notion of redemption becomes an illusion for those unwilling to face their inner darkness. Time offers no comfort; only through unvarnished acknowledgment of our failures can we hope for transformation. By confronting our fractured selves, we navigate the wreckage of denial and despair, ultimately embracing the quietus that serves as a testament to the fragile nature of the human spirit.
