Publisher's Synopsis
In How the Soul Writes Sebastian Melmoth explores a myriad of themes-human emotions and relationships, home and the natural world, loss and bereavement, objects of everyday life and the joy of family life-with resonant elegance and honesty. This collection of short poems written in the aftermath of his mother's death insightfully capture the working of the human mind with raw emotions and conveys a message of hope with much conviction. Melmoth illuminates the mundanities of life through philosophical ruminations, employing powerful metaphors and evocative figurative language. His musings and character, along with the beauty of imagery, prompt one to combat despair and sustain hope.
