Amoral Intersection: My Life through Poetry
Buy from
Amoral Intersection: My Life Through Poetry is a raw, unflinching journey through love, loss, and the fragmented self. This collection stitches together visceral snapshots of grief—motherless children, suicide’s aftermath, the hollow ache of infidelity—with moments of dark humour and fleeting tenderness. From the suffocating weight of IUDs and hospital corridors to the reckless abandon of stolen kisses under pohutukawa trees, these poems pulse with urgency, blurring the lines between confession and elegy. The poet’s voice oscillates between razor-sharp wit and gutting vulnerability, laying bare the chaos of parenting, the seduction of self-destruction, and the quiet rebellion of surviving. Amoral Intersection is a testament to the messy, magnificent act of staying alive—even when the world demands you fold. Here, every scar is a stanza, every fracture a rhythm.
