Pages : 247
Book Description
Evil is the consequence of an individual's own struggles against non-existence... Ancient monsters of destruction rise from emerging rifts that dot the landscape, pushing cities and the known civilization to their downfall. As her homeland falls into chaos around her and political intrigues arise, Eos—a celestial healer with a thrice-split soul—battles to mitigate the consequences of her ever-increasing powers to help close the rifts connecting her world to an unknown, dangerous underworld. When an angel with a claim on her arrives, demanding what he’s owed, she must tap into her newly discovered lineage to find a way to escape him. Erigenia, the parasite on Eos’ soul, has severed her link to Eos in a reckless bid for independence. Scavenging for resources to maintain her decaying form and ensure her immortality, she slowly begins to descend little by little into the darkness of non-existence. Yet, as her magic begins to fade, Erigenia finds herself hunted, forcing her to face an old foe driven insane by revenge and the decisions that shaped her past. As Eos grapples with shadow-hounds sent to track her down and Erigenia’s increasing demands for both Eos’ strength and life-force, a greater plot unfolds that will destroy everything Eos has ever known—and her true enemies and allies are revealed.

Languages : en
Pages : 73
Book Description
Winner of the Costa Poetry Award • Shortlisted for the T. S. Eliot Award and the Forward Prize “These lyrics…illustrate poetry’s unique ability to shock readers into a renewed awareness of the world.” —Washington Post Falling Awake, winner of the Costa Award for Poetry, “give[s] us the sensation of living alongside the natural world, of being a spectator to the changes that mark our mortality” (Dan Chiasson, The New Yorker). Falling Awake expands on the imagery of fallen soldiers from Homer’s Iliad portrayed in her previous volume, Memorial—defining life as a slowly falling weight, where beings fight against their inevitable end. Oswald reimagines classical figures such as Orpheus and Tithonus alive in an English landscape together with shadows, flies, villagers, dew, crickets—all characterized in tension between the weight of death and their own willpower. FROM “VERTIGO” let me shuffle forward and tell you the two minute life of rain starting right now lips open and lidless cold all-seeing gaze
