I’ll give you hope, question the purpose of industry of hoarded money of battlefields glorified by humankind. Apologies to Dante brings the reader on a haunting, lyrical descent into the fracturing landscape of the 21st century. Through a series of sharp, observant and deeply felt poems, the collection serves as both a mirror and a warning, charting the decline of civility and the devastation of the natural world. This is not merely a collection of verse; it is a profound interrogation of the modern human condition. Drawing parallels between ancient archetypes and contemporary figures, it presents history not as a static past but a repeating cycle that we are inevitably trapped within. It asks us to pause, to look at the world we have inherited and to find the courage to re-examine our pursuits. Apologies to Dante is an urgent testament to the need for empathy and a call for us all to question the futility of our current path as we advocate for a gentler tread upon an earth struggling to sustain us.
