Through four carefully crafted acts—the collection unpacks the roles we play in our relationships, whether with our parents, our lovers, or even the reflection in our own mirrors.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n Inspired by the dramatic elements of the stage, the collection features a cast of characters, dialogue, and vivid theater imagery, creating a reading experience that feels both introspective and performative. The poems delve into the ways we perform for others without even realizing it, and how that performance shapes our identities over time. What happens when we strip away the masks we've worn for so long? What truths are left behind when the lights fade and the curtain falls?\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\n With themes of mental health, the loss and rediscovery of love, coming-of-age realizations, and the imperfect nature of family, \u003ci\u003eBurning The Ghost Light\u003c\/i\u003e is for anyone who has ever wrestled with the complexity of being human. Blending the deeply personal with the profoundly universal, this collection speaks to those who find themselves constantly straddling the line between authenticity and expectation and will stay with you long after the final act.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46585541329054,"sku":"HPC-9781771684163","price":29.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781771684163.jpg?v=1772777669","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781771684163","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
