Description

Following the Roman poet Virgil metaphorically, T. Byram Karasu unflinchingly plunges into the depths of our collective unconscious. With this luminous book of poems, he draws on profound psychological insights to reveal much about the human mind. Karasu skillfully and courageously addresses the many nuanced layers of tenderness, sex, regret, deceit, guilt, and death in this debut collection of poetry. With his uncanny ability, irreverence, and transgressive intimacy, he achieves a sense of timelessness.

Media Reviews

Powerful and intuitive penetration into the human mind and soul. A masterpiece. -- Deepak Chopra
I will never be the same person after reading these strong, beautiful, penetrating poems that lift the lids on the trash cans of our repressions. I loved the language. These are the scalpel-sharp words of a poet who happens to be a psychiatrist, and not the other way around. They are an antidote to the many saccharine expressions of psychology and spirituality that have so much appeal in a time of cultural slack. Read them and regain possession of your life. -- Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul
