Ink and Ember
A Poet's Reckoning
Verses torn from within a suffocating solitude, national chaos and existential crises between 2017–2022. More than 200 poems.
This book is not the voice of words, but of a soul that chose to be reborn from its own ashes.
The voice of one who knows no borders, who broke the chains of the mind, who defied freedom with their own body… Here, pain is not a burden; it is a door opening onto the truth.
These verses are the inner reckoning of a soul at peace with its solitude, one that buried its childhood in the earth and was shaped under the weight of loving and being loved. The words carry the traces of both a revolt and a surrender.
And in the end: what remains is the quiet but unbeaten silence of someone who has said farewell to lies, to false memories, to chains. This book is the echo of that silence.
I am only myself now.
And I was reborn; now it is your turn.
