Darkroom is a poetic journey through the raw and often unsettling landscape of queer love and lust.
The collection explores the complex interplay between identity and sexual power, set against the backdrop of a relationship that has ended but left deep emotional wounds.
Through a series of poems and poignant reflections, the poet grapples with the lingering pain of a breakup, confronting the loneliness, torment, and emptiness that follow in its wake.
The narrative unravels the poet’s struggle with the darker aspects of their psyche, as they weaponise sex to fill the void left by their lover.
Each poem is a snapshot, capturing the fleeting moments of pleasure that inevitably give way to distress and hopelessness.
The poet’s journey is one of self-destruction and self-discovery, as they navigate the fine line between healing and harming those who dare to love them despite their pain.
