In his debut, Paul Nandzik exhibits the beauty and wonder of the poetic form in his intricately woven verses. He shows the tapestry of the human experience of growth and discovery, love and friendship, through various speakers and characters-some named, some unnamed-some who exist in a dark aged fantasy world, some who exist in modern times. By combining the ancient epic form along with romantic themes, Nandzik has found a seductive blend of sonic and visual beauty with spiritual and emotional depth.
