Keyontaye Williams, acclaimed for the cherished "Amaranthine Apologue" poetry series, unveils his latest work, "Her Forboden Throwaways." This collection of short poems delves deep into the heart of addiction and its intricate dance within the realms of relationships.
In "Her Forboden Throwaways," we journey alongside a protagonist caught in moments of vulnerability under the new moon's gaze. Her reflections, fragmented by the moon's mirroring surface, reveal a stark dichotomy: the steadfast morals of her lineage clash against the mercurial ethics of a society rife with double meanings. Her visage, once vivid, now mirrors the desolation within-a canvas of stark beauty.
Crafting a salve from her clandestine concoctions, she seeks to inhale a new existence-one as refreshing as the aspirations of modernity, distanced from the legacy of verse and poise her forebears envisioned for her. Thus, the heritage of bygone days transforms into her forbidden discards, a secret collection of experiences and truths, discarded in the pursuit of rebirth.
"Her Forboden Throwaways" is not just a poetic venture; it's a mirror reflecting the tumultuous relationship between our inner worlds and the external forces that shape them. Williams invites readers into a realm where the forgotten whispers of the past and the bold declarations of the present converge, offering a narrative as timeless as it is poignant.
