Disenchanting

"Serenity replaced the darling dread." In Disenchanting, the romantic meets the disillusioned. Through erasure, prose, and similar poetry forms, these works explore themes of longing, frustration, passion, and reflection. This book takes the reader on a tightrope walk-constantly balancing between tenderness and cynicism. Their endless battle, a tug-of-war: how should we view the world? Through rose-colored glasses or scorn? Or, perhaps, both? Disenchanting features poems sourced from literary works and personal writings and embraces the uncertainty of human emotion; rather than fighting between opposing forces, it stitches them together-illustrating the beautiful spectrum of worldly perspectives.
