There’s a fearless way you lean into the darker parts without trying to make them easier to digest. It asks the reader to stay present even when it’s uncomfortable. That kind of writing takes real conviction. It holds a mirror without softening the edges. You can feel how much intention is behind every line.

wild beasts

Behold the beast, for which I have turned back;

Do thou protect me from her, famous Sage,

For she doth make my veins and pulses tremble.

- Dante Alighieri, Inferno Canto I

What a cool way to set the stage for what was to come! Really excited every time I see one of these I’m kind of trying to catch up, but I have so many things to read! You are one of my top favorites to revisit time and time again!
