Until Eyes Hear Sound has already spoken through its poems, but this short video offers another way in β a quiet blend of colour, movement, and mood that reflects the heart of the book.
A Glimpse Into the Book
Across ten chapters, the collection explores nature, memory, imagination, and the questions that shape our lives. The coverβs rising birds and shifting sky mirror the bookβs reflective and curious spirit.
Why a Promotional Video?
This piece serves as a gentle introduction for new readers and a companion for those familiar with my work. It offers a calm entry point and a sense of the bookβs emotional palette β more an open door than a traditional trailer.
Behind the Scenes
The images echo the themes of reflection, flight, and stillness. The pacing is unhurried, allowing the mood to settle. This video will also support the broader promotional work coordinated by Gisela.

A Poem from the Collection
Anomaly
I see a stone wall of sad faces
the refugees from different places
Shuffling on old, shredded boot laces
wearing tattered clothes and frozen braces
These lost cultures of opposite races
begging for water and food traces
living out of torn tents and empty suitcases
And here, people play games in cyberspaces
