Depths of Shelter: Poems between Forsaking and Belonging

By Trystan Caffcagh

Depths of Shelter gathers contemporary poems tracing the movement between forsaking and belonging. From dark, mist-shrouded moors and derelict ruins to hidden cloister gardens, vaulted cellars and caves of stone, the texts lead through quiet spaces - landscapes of abandonment and refuge - not to escape the world, but to feel it more deeply. They explore how loneliness and fear, estrangement and temptation, guilt and grief can slowly turn into trust, shelter and a feeling of being held. In calm, precise language and modern, accessible, image-driven free verse, the poems show how stones, walls and wild places can become silent witnesses and sanctuaries for a wounded inner life, where the reader is no longer required to perform, but may simply breathe and be.
