Monumental Decadence Adrian Lucca

A collection of 34 poems which tells the narrative of a young author's conceptions and experiences. A profoundly meditated work, the book starts with a series of nature poems, inspiring primeval moods. From there, the work moves on to reflections of love, beauty, and life-changing events - some of which have entire cycles of poetry dedicated. While branching out to verses of spiritual and social concerns, the book concludes by touching on thoughts of hope and the things that lay ahead. The author wrestles throughout with his notions of monumentality and decadence - themes which he holds are to be freely pursued and carried forth, in creating one's permanent and lasting mark.
