Songs of Sawdust

By Danicka Shadows

Love, sex, and death. The universal obsessions of our kind. These things that dance the enchanting often questioned lines of our meaning, purpose, and existence. That connect us to ourselves in a society so strangely disconnected, to our true, authentic selves.

Songs of Sawdust follows the journey of Valentina as she encounters the Seven Loves - Eros, Philia, Storge, Agape, Ludus, Pragma, and Philautia - characters who seduce, challenge, comfort, and confront her as she navigates the chaos of modern existence while rediscovering the true nature of love in its many forms.

Through tempting love triangles, devastating loss, and the haunting echoes of grief, she is forced to reckon with what love truly is - and what it is not. As she unravels illusions and confronts the shadows of attachment, she begins to understand that survival isn't just about enduring heartbreak, but about learning to hold love in its rawest, most honest form. The journey of rediscovering meaning, purpose, and the parts of what makes us who we are.
