Fall of the Raven by Thymournia

Fall of the Raven by Thymournia is an evocative collection of prose poetry and photography that is at once beautiful and melancholy. Elegantly and expertly constructed, the book consists of gothic black and white photographs of the titular raven with the author’s dark and despairing perspective on existence. Though the photographs have a varied mood that is haunting but not horrific, the prose poetry is almost relentlessly dark with no other feeling to break up the mood, giving it a monotone quality. Still, matched with the artful photographs, Fall of the Raven is a unique and powerful work.
