In the aftermath of a broken beginning, what is left of a soul when it shatters? Where Light Fractures is a cartography of a fractured mind, a raw and poetic journey through a psyche fragmented by trauma. It is a world where a king hides in plain sight, a frantic deer runs from its own shadow, and a silent watcher maps every tremor of a soul in chaos. Through powerful verse, Ty Nocturne navigates the labyrinth of disconnect, where empathy is a chasm and truth is a “glem” found only in the breaks. This is a story of profound isolation and the brutal struggle to survive it. But in the very fragments of what was lost, a new map emerges, revealing that the cracks are not an end, but the very place where light can begin to get in. This book is a testament to the quiet power of a mind learning to heal and the sacred courage it takes to carry its own light. A Poetic Journey of Self-Discovery In this poignant and unflinching collection of free-verse poetry, Ty Nocturne invites readers into a deeply personal world, exploring the intricate landscapes of a mind shaped by trauma. The book is not just a series of poems; it is a meticulously crafted emotional journey, divided into chapters that follow a natural progression from the foundations of pain to the quiet hope of glowing embers . You will explore: The Unraveling of Self : Discover the chilling "Architecture of Disconnect" where memories become "shards" and a fragile sense of self becomes a battlefield of warring identities. The Weight of the Past : Confront the haunting echoes of trauma, from a "first crack" in childhood to the emotional betrayals that forge a heart into a defensive "fortress." Internal Cartography : Witness the creation of a new map, where unique metaphors like "The Humming Wire" and "The Watcher's Crest" are used to chart an inner world that defies conventional understanding. Written for anyone who has felt lost or misunderstood, Where Light Fractures offers a sense of validation and shared experience. It is a book that proves that even in profound darkness, there is a sacred strength in simply being. It is a guide to finding your own light, not in the absence of shadows, but in the break between them.
