Adversology is a collection of poems written in the shadow of a constitutional promise and its everyday erosion. Moving between the language of rights and the reality of lived experience, the book examines what remains when justice, liberty, equality, and fraternity exist more as words than as guarantees.These poems act as witness notes-brief, unsentimental, and unsettling-drawn from moments where democratic ideals fracture under power, violence, indifference, and fear. Rather than argue or explain, the poems observe: how systems fail quietly, how cruelty becomes procedural, and how ordinary lives absorb the cost of constitutional betrayal.Written in spare verse with deliberate restraint, the work avoids lyric comfort and moral instruction. White space, interruption, and silence carry as much weight as language. The voice remains observational, allowing the reader to confront the distance between what is promised and what is practiced.Adversology does not offer solutions or consolation. It documents failure without spectacle and testimony without ornament. It is a book for readers who believe poetry can still interrogate power, hold memory, and insist-quietly and relentlessly-on accountability.
