Sinopsis
Poetry that probes art, aging, and the cost of fame Delicate, often piercing verses consider the life of a performer who obsesses over craft, memory, and the price of success. Ironica weaves between dreamlike images and stark, legible scenes, offering a stark portrait of a world where art can both sustain and exhaust the heart.
The collection moves through stage lore, personal sacrifice, and the stubborn pull of creative identity. It examines desire, loneliness, and resilience with a precise, sometimes musical cadence that lingers after each page.
- Intimate meditations on performance, ambition, and the passing of time
- Vivid, cinematic scenes that feel like a backstage glimpse into a dramatic life
- Juxtaposition of joy, loss, and the search for meaning in art
- Clear, accessible language that invites thoughtful reflection
Ideal for readers who enjoy lyric explorations of fame, memory, and the human cost of artistic life.

Excerpt from Ironica
At The Bar
New York was waking to another dawn;
The morn was May; a silence lay like snow
Outside the door at Jack's, where revelry
Had gone to sleep, with a last taxicab
Moored in a battered patience at the curb.
Two figures, garbed in night's suave black and white,
Made through the door, and drank the virgin air
As an old wine after a long parched thirst,
Spent among phantom bottles with no necks.
Both men were young, the younger with the green
Nimbus of youth, poised for brave enterprise. -
"Let's get to bed," yawned from the older one.
"Cambridge would frown to see her trusted sons
Go lurching home, two ghosts of last night's dance.' -
Sixth Avenue gave them its unthronged way,
And with a glittering stride they headed north.
At the first crossing Something stopped them short -
A Thing of rags and sores and evil smells,
Undried stale tears and slobbering torn mouth -
A derelict far too decayed to die -
Rose from the pave and hung there asking alms.
There was no path to pass him for the pair,
