Corvix: Poems of Love, Sex and Death
Love, sex and death... the three major forces of human existence. They liberate and constrain us. Corvix explores these in all their multifaceted experience through fifty-three poems embracing love, loss, obsession, isolation and regret, and the intrusion of the supernatural into everyday life. Corvix takes inspiration from the Romantic poets and then breaks the rules to create a body of work that is at once classical and contemporary.

I received an ARC of Corvix through Reedsy Discovery. See the full review at https://reedsy.com/discovery/book/cor...
To call Valentin Per Lind’s book Corvix: Poems of Love, Sex, and Death a poetry collection is a bit of a misnomer in the traditional sense. Yes, there is poetry contained within the covers, but more than that, Corvix is a manifesto on life, death, love, and faith.
With this book, Per Lind offers a retrospective look at decades of creative work, conveniently arranged in temporal groups, so that readers can watch the growth and development of a lifetime’s worth of poetry. In that, Corvix is a fascinating, brave look backwards and forward from someone who does not shy away from the foibles of early work, or the craft that comes with age and experience as a poet.
Lookout for such standout pieces as “Lucifer Unbound”, “Mirror, Mirror”, and “Song of Shekhinah”.
