Contrition is a poetic offering of reflection and penitence — a deeply personal interpretation of the world as it is seen and felt. Within its pages, wonder at the ordinary coexists with the darker truths of the human condition. Each poem seeks to lift the veil from our eyes, balancing awe with unease, beauty with horror, and hope with honesty. This collection invites readers to confront paradoxes, question assumptions, and discover the raw, unvarnished reality that lies beneath the surface of everyday life.
