Shadows, Flames and Roses

by Herbert Mowo, Roselyne Tarimo (Illustrator), Polycarp Chege (Editor)

This is a collection of poetry inspired by love and mental illness. In his debut, "Shadows, Flames and Roses", Herbert Mowo candidly explores the themes of loss, lost love, destruction and death, unraveling the dark realities of trauma, heartbreak, and all events that led to his friend's eventual death, including, but not limited to betrayal, unrequited affections and enduring a long battle with mental illness; by carefully compiling the red signals from his death roes through in-depth evaluation of his personal journal and the conversations they engaged in while he was still alive.
This collection provides a raw exploration into what it truly means to battle mental illness in a society where the same has been so much shunned. It is nonetheless an intriguing piece of a beautiful romance unfolding.
This is the first edition of the long-awaited series, "Sunrise of Eternity", anchored majorly on breaking the silence surrounding mental illness.
