Organized as a constrained dictionary, each entry begins with a single noun-\u003cem\u003eAlienation, Ambition, Shame, Desire\u003c\/em\u003e-and unfolds through a concrete image drawn from the physical world. A final imperative line follows, compressing the word into action.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book is divided into five movements-Friction, Fusion, Fracture, Force, and Echo-tracing how language behaves under pressure. Rather than interpreting emotion, these poems isolate it, testing its tensile strength against matter: glacier, piston, wolf, avalanche, spark.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere are no explanatory notes.
