ATARAXIA! - ROOTS & SHADOWS: A journey of a tumultuous soul through terror, radiance, chaos, the abyss, and peace. Hardcover – July 6, 2025

Ataraxia! – Roots and Shadows is an extended work of poetry and fiction that journeys through the most visceral corners of the human experience: grief, trauma, rebellion, eroticism, madness, loss, and hope. Written over the course of fifteen years, this book blends poems, short stories, raw reflections, and intimate monologues, each crafted as an act of emotional resistance.Structured as a philosophical and emotional odyssey, the book moves from radiance to chaos, from the abyss toward the light. Influenced by authors such as Pizarnik, Rimbaud, Poe, and Rulfo, XSANZK builds a raw, poetic, and deeply human literary universe.Each page pulses with vital intensity—some verses bleed, some stories scream, and others offer shelter in a world burning with silence.This is not a book of easy answers.It is a mirror for those who feel too much.A whisper for those who shout in rooms where no one listens.A home for the broken, the seekers, the wanderers, and the survivors.For those who still believe that something sacred can grow from broken roots.What will you find in this book?• Psychological, symbolic, and existential horror stories• Free verse poetry with internal rhyme, alliteration, and emotional intensity• A blend of contemporary poetry, literary horror, and personal philosophy• A voice that doesn’t shy away from spiritual ruin or radical tendernessContent Warning: This book contains emotionally intense content, including death, erotic trauma, suicide, and psychological crisis.
