The Thorns

A poetry collection of 60 poems penned by Swedish author and artist Erik Jayce Landberg. The Thorns features lyric poems such as Under the Dusk, Unlawful Kiss, Does It Taste of Blood and many more dated and undated poems written between 2010 and 2014 with some pieces of work written prior to 2010. Landberg seems to draw inspiration from both personal and extra-personal experiences touching a wide variety of themes such as war, love, addiction, society, fantasy and many more. The Thorns also features two poems written in French. A few quotes taken from different poems in The Thorns: "...Her breasts have fed a thousand men, but only one of them will reign...", "...Her kiss could silence a thousand wars, and yet uncover a thousand more...", "...And on her neck my lips remember, how they once had longed to forget...", "...Poetry drains all my strength and heart, for you I have shed all my ink and art..."
