Beneath the Quiet Storm: Writings from the Eye

Beneath the Quiet Storm: Writings from the Eye is not a collection of poems so much as a single, deliberate emotional journey.

Moving through longing, grief, love, reckoning, and finally stillness, the book is architected as a sustained arc rather than a sequence of isolated moments. Each poem deepens the one before it, allowing meaning to accumulate gradually, the way weather does—quietly, relentlessly.

What distinguishes this work is its restraint. Rather than offering consolation or resolution, the poems choose witness. Pain is neither dramatized nor softened; it is held with care, precision, and moral attention. The language is intimate without being indulgent, ceremonial without excess, trusting the reader to sit with silence rather than be rescued from it.

Written by a physician-poet, Beneath the Quiet Storm carries the discipline of someone accustomed to staying present in difficult rooms. The voice is confessional but controlled, emotionally daring yet formally grounded. By the final pages, the book does not crescendo—it exhales.

This is a book for readers who value cohesion over spectacle, depth over display, and the rare experience of finishing a poetry collection feeling not impressed, but changed.
