Love, Sex and Death... the three major forces of human existence. They liberate us and constrain us. Corvix explores these in all their multifaceted experience through fifty-three poems embracing love, loss, obsession, isolation and regret, and the intrusion of the supernatural into everyday life. Corvix takes inspiration from the Romantic poets and then breaks the rules to create a body of work that is at once classical and contemporary.

Autorenporträt
Valentin Per Lind was born in 1959 and studied History and English Literature at Leicester University. He is passionately interested in the Greek Mystery Cults, Jewish Qabalah, Christian mysticism and the European Witch-Cult of the Middle Ages, entailing some lengthy discussions in many of the poems' notes. From his earliest days, he thrilled to Beowulf, and its abiding image of the Norse hero battling monsters. At university, he was heavily influenced by the Romantic poets of the early nineteenth century as well as the later Victorian poets such as Tennyson, in particular Tennyson's Idylls of the King with its re-imagining of the Arthurian cycle. Combined, these influences engendered a love of poetry that endures to this day.
