will-o'-the-wisp, noun: 1. folkloristic phantom light hovering in the wilderness, often luring travellers away from the path 2. something that keeps disappearing or is impossible to reach and catch 3. glimpse of magic in real life. This illustrated poetry collection combines everyday imagery, fairy tales, literary homages, pop culture references, metaphors and synaesthesia to deal with a variety of themes such as love, heartbreak, mental illness, recovery, nature, life in a big city, society, and much more. It includes ballads, haikus, a sonnet, free form and everything in-between. Just like the will-o'-the-wisps found in folklore and travellers' tales, this poetry collection will transport you to a world that seems just like ours and yet feels slightly different, because the veil between thoughts and physical places is thinning. And so is the one between everyday life and magic.
