The Congregation: A Collection of Poems
Product Description:
Eight souls. Eight obsessions. One final convergence.
In the predawn darkness, they move through their private hells-the Paranoiac consumed by thought, the Sentinel fleeing invisible eyes, the Animal grazing mindlessly in a pasture that may never end. Each trapped by the very consciousness that should set them free.
From suburban streets to storm-torn campsites, these figures carry their torments like sacred relics. The Melancholiac sails toward a dawn that will never come. The Heretic questions everything yet finds only emptiness. The Caitiff drowns his guilt in a glass that never empties.
But the desert calls them all.
The Congregation is a journey into the spaces where faith and paranoia blur, where hyperawareness becomes its own prison, and where the only escape lies in a silence deeper than words.
A dark pilgrimage through the landscapes of modern spiritual crisis.
