Threading the Veil: Lore Poetry by Sarah B. Royal

Threading the Veil: Lore Poetry by Sarah B. Royal is a 202-page mythopoetic collection that weaves surreal imagery, lyrical intensity, and metaphysical inquiry into a dreamlike exploration of transformation, memory, and the porous boundary between worlds. Published on January 26, 2025, by WoPoLi.PS, this paperback volume invites readers into a liminal realm where myth and emotion intertwine with reality. Drawing from folklore, ancestral archetypes, modern life, and dream logic, Royal crafts poems that feel both ancient and immediate, using the “veil” as a central metaphor for the threshold between life and death, waking and dreaming, the known and the unknown. Her work centers on metamorphosis, spiritual awakening, and emotional rebirth, rendered through language rich in metaphor and sensory distortion. The poems shift between meditative calm and ecstatic revelation, pulsing with emotional urgency. Structurally, the collection echoes oral traditions and mythic storytelling, employing rhythmic cadences and symbolic motifs to create a lore-driven form. Ideal for readers who appreciate mythic poetry, spiritual symbolism, and surrealist verse, Threading the Veil resonates with the poetic sensibilities of H.D., Rainer Maria Rilke, and Anne Carson.
