Downloading lux brumalis: the light of winter

lux brumalis, Nix Eden's debut poetry collection, is a deeply queer collection that embraces the nuances of love in all its forms - particularly love that defies societal expectations. The collection reflects both the resilience and the vulnerability of queer existence, as well as the continuing battle between seeking acceptance and learning to accept oneself. Written over the course of many years, this raw and reflective work traces a journey trough time, identity, and love and seeks to unearth quiet beauty in moments of darkness, navigate the complexities of grief, mental health, and self-discovery, and wrestle with the ongoing struggle for belonging. From the soft tenderness of a sunflower reaching for the warmth of the sun to the sharp edges of self-harm, loss, and homophobia, each verse offers an unflinching look at the challenges faced, the moments of darkness, and the light that can still be found, even in the coldest winters.
