My Labyrinth of Fire - Paperback

by Ned Daniel Pickering (Author)

MY LABYRINTH OF FIRE

A body on fire.A mind in fragments.A spirit clawing at the in-between.In My Labyrinth of Fire, Tasmanian artist, musician, and writer, Ned Pickering, leads us through the burning corridors of manic depression - from the first spark of ignition to the collapse, the revolt, and the precipice. These poems are jagged, luminous, and unflinching. They speak in the language of waves and mountains, in fever-dream visions and thrumming hospital beds.This collection is at once a howl, a confession, and a map. It is an offering to anyone who has walked through fire, and a testament that even in the darkest labyrinth, there are colours, there is music, and there is the possibility of return.For readers of raw contemporary poetry and those drawn to the collision of madness, myth, and the Tasmanian landscape, My Labyrinth of Fire is a book that refuses to look away - and refuses to go out.
