Goddess of Nothing: A dark, confessional poetry collection

Goddess of Nothing is a dark, confessional, and literary poetry collection that touches upon themes of selfhood and reinvention, romantic hunger, trauma, and emotional annihilation. It explores the body as both a temple and a commodity, and mythologizes the artist into a kind of doomed prophet. Written in an ornate, mythic, and emotionally raw style, Harley Claes navigates selfhood with an exhausted but intellectual fever, gathering relics of philosophical prose-poetry and lyrical verses that are equally intense, feminine, taboo, and psychologically raw, tethered aesthetically to a sense of self-resurrection in the midst of devastation and social deviancy. This collection is for lovers of intense, literary, dark feminine, and psychologically rich poetry, harboring ruminations about making existence sacred and meaningful in the midst of being forgotten. Equally vulnerable and vicious, sacred and profane, romantic and at times disillusioned, the author turns the wreckage of selfhood into the type of poetry that will consume you with revelations about both yourself and existence, as if you were looking into a cracked mirror that you never expected to discover yourself within.
