“
This is poetry that dared to divorce the stale traditional popular theme of sociopolitical discourses and embrace issues of identity, desire and psychological trauma— a timely effort in this contemporary world. This collection of poems is charged with subtle messages on psychic disorders and traumatic identities in that the poet chose to base his theme around depression and mental trauma. Be that as it may, despite the grave tone and thunderous rhythm in the poems; the poet still yet never abandoned his stylistic grandeur and literary efficacy.
The collection is gracefully adorned in chunks of similes, metaphors, rhetorical questions, personifications, irony and symbols.
