Into Shadow: A Poetic Exploration of Personal Fears
Written by Monica Valentinelli¸ into shadow: a poetic exploration of personal fears is the author's debut collection of twenty-one poems. The collection's theme is broken into three books inspired by parts of the shadow: the umbra¸ penumbra¸ and antumbra.
In book one: umbra¸ twenty-one original poems expose the author's shadow. Notes and references for each poem follows in book two: penumbra¸ naming her fears and how she tackled them. Lastly¸ in book three: antumbra¸ the original drafts of each poem-including improper punctuation and sloppy word choices-are reprinted in their entirety¸ extending well beyond the umbra.
The fears presented run the gamut between surface-deep and existential. As such¸ some readers may be uncomfortable with light swearing and unsettling imagery.
Funded on Patreon¸ into shadow: a poetic exploration of personal fears would not be possible without the support of Monica's patrons and supporters.
