A Beguiler's Journey Tony Bertrand

"A Beguiler's Journey" takes the reader on a poetic and metaphorical adventure through interconnected pages. Several unique characters, portrayed using distinct font styles and a framing narrative, try to confront a catastrophe that has thrown them into total disarray. Their distinct voices breathe life into a story of the struggle to face down the turbulent and emotionally charged landscapes of their world. A multi-layered work, each page acts as a self contained piece while still being part of a larger story. Readers are drawn into a realm brought to life through metaphors that create an atmosphere of mystery and tension. As each progressive poem moves closer towards understanding, characters voice their distinct perspectives on topics ranging from heartbreak, confusion and sadness to confidence, determination and self-healing as each poem moves closer to the heart of this fresh take on poetic storytelling.
