The Book Of Shadows

The book is a collection of poems dealing with various themes, emotions and mental states, the overarching, unifying idea being concealment. Shadows can hide both negative and positive aspects of nature and human nature. This relation always concerns the questions as to what is concealed and for what reason? It also attempts to make the point that certain things are actually revealed by concealment. That is, whatever is concealed says something about the person or situation that engendered the concealment in the first place. The poems attempt to consider some of these apparent ambivalences.
