Description of the Book:
Broken Veils journeys through fragments and fractures toward healing and bloom. From secret longings to encounters between humanity and the divine, each poem reimagines the spaces between veils, constructs, binaries, and belief—tracing the soul’s pilgrimage from hollow to hallowed. Poetry becomes an act of reclamation. Through vivid imagery and deep literary and biblical allusions, these poems reimagine ancient classics and expose the fractures of modern minds. Against the backdrop of tyranny and religious hypocrisy, each poem wrestles toward redemption, from minimalist crystalline verses to long narratives, offering a bold meditation on rebuilding meaning in a fragmented, hollow world.
