Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"My bones carry rot in their marrow. They bend and crack to accommodate a pressure. I stumble over these awkward limbs. Yet I stumble nonetheless."Victims of Consciousness is a visceral exploration of the heavy cost of being awake. In this debut collection, Hunter Greb navigates the landscape of a mind at war with itself, mapping the descent into isolation and the slow, stumbling walk back toward the light.Divided into two distinct movements, the collection traces an evolution of the soul: Movement 1: The Implosion - A clinical, honest look at the "rot" of existence, where the self is a specimen and the world is a series of walls closing in.Movement 2: The Navigation - The aftermath of the collapse. Here, the speaker finds the "will to go on" amidst the misery of the mundane, acknowledging that while the scars are permanent, movement is still possible.From the cosmic weight of Jupiter to the quiet exhaustion of Tuesday, this is a book for the mismatched, the haunted, and those who find themselves "stumbling nonetheless."
