Description: This book is a collection of poems that explore the themes of love, desire, and the fleeting nature of beauty in the context of fin de siècle London. The author, a keen observer of the city's underbelly, captures the decadence and intensity of nightlife in London's music halls, theaters, and streets, revealing a world of fleeting encounters and passionate encounters that are simultaneously alluring and ultimately doomed. The author’s use of vivid imagery and evocative language creates a sensual and atmospheric world that reflects the anxieties and desires of a society on the cusp of modernity, grappling with the loss of traditional values and the rise of new forms of entertainment. This book offers a unique glimpse into the artistic and intellectual ferment of late Victorian London, capturing the intoxicating beauty and underlying melancholy of a moment in time that has come to be known as the decadent era.
