INNER COMBUSTIONS

In Inner Combustions, Vlad Neagoe fashions a poetry of rare intensity, where moments of crystalline stillness coexist with visionary outbursts against the violence, absurdity, and spiritual impoverishment of the modern world. Birds, rivers, moonlight, snow-covered mountains, and fields of wheat appear beside cannibals, tyrants, executioners, and the ruins of history in a vast poetic landscape haunted by love, mortality, faith, and the fate of civilisation.

Moving effortlessly between haiku-like miniatures and expansive prophetic meditations, Neagoe explores the deepest contradictions of human existence: our longing for beauty amid corruption, our thirst for transcendence in a world obsessed with power, and our search for meaning beneath the shadow of death. His poems combine lyrical tenderness, metaphysical inquiry, satirical rage, and apocalyptic imagination into a singular poetic voice.

At once contemplative and incendiary, intimate and cosmic, Inner Combustions is a book of spiritual struggle and moral witness. It confronts the darkness within history and within ourselves while never entirely relinquishing the possibility of grace, love, and redemption. These poems burn with the conviction that poetry remains one of the last places where truth can still be spoken.
