A War In The Valley

This collection of sonnets offers an erotic take on the metric form, utilizing the English Sonnet framework as a storytelling tool to deliver a reflection on sexuality.

By delving into both the visceral and physical sensations of romantic encounters, A War In The Valley is an exploration of intimacy in its shallow indulgence, and the repercussions that ensue for one's self-awareness, and self-confrontation.

As all behaviours have consequences, so too must the chance encounters between sexual partners, especially those that have the unintended development of emotional affection; self-worth is a prominent consideration in the work, as pride and humiliation can one feel powerful, and naked.

The chapbook is an expression of lessons learned, mistakes made, and how the mystique of a vibrant sex-life can be marred by one's own undoing.
