Publisher's Synopsis
"Secluded Realms" is a collection of poetry devoted to the concepts of seclusion and liminality, exploring these ideas in both the natural world and within the intricate tapestry of society. This volume takes the reader on a journey from pristine mountain ravines and sequestered rose gardens, venturing through abandoned cathedrals and districts of the poor, and finally ascending to the lofty abodes of powerful wizards and barons. "Secluded Realms" draws its inspiration from the gritty and dark medieval world, evoking the raw, unfiltered essence of an era characterised by hardship and resilience, where individuals often find themselves cast out and relegated to the margins of existence. Last but not least, "Secluded Realms" also consists of shorter haiku poems that aim to capture fleeting moods and atmospheres.
