Bestial Mouths

Bestial mouths whisper, calling you into a labyrinth of nightmares, metamorphosis, and the liminal spaces of the beautiful grotesque lurking within the human psyche. Tolian's debut poetry collection is an unequivocal battlecry for the exploited. Stripped of ornament, the language bites deep, revealing a suspended symbology of human and beast, intimacy and violence, life and death. This book bites deep, exploring themes of identity, metamorphosis, and the primal urge for survival, weaving through time, myth, and shifting perspectives.

The verses serve as a grimoire, an invocation, and a meditation on agency and autonomy over the body and soul—whether it is inherent, taken, sold, stolen, lost, reclaimed, or forcefully wrested back into the self. Sit down on the forest floor, dig your fingers into the soil, and open wide your bestial mouths, consume these words whispered in the darkness.
