About this listen

"The Wild Road" is a deeply introspective poetry collection examining human emotions and experiences with rich imagery and philosophical depth. In the opening section, poems like "The Wild Road (part one)" and "The Velvet Darkness" use mystical natural imagery to explore the connection between the external world and our inner lives, highlighting both beauty and chaos. The middle section shifts to philosophical contemplation through works such as "The Humanist Manifesto" and "Letter to a Demon," which examine existential questions, inner struggles, and the search for meaning amid life's uncertainties. The final section brings resolution through poems like "Vessels of Light" and "The Truth-Bearers," emphasizing the importance of embracing life's contrasting elements, finding power in vulnerability, and recognizing truth's transformative potential. Throughout, Duncan's poetry combines vivid imagery, emotional resonance, and thoughtful insights to create a compelling exploration of the human condition.
