5.0

From a life of pain and deep suffering, Sebastian Vice has created a stunning collection of poetic literature, each poem its own enclosed world of depravity and despair shot through with unexpected threads of beauty and light. As I journeyed through Homo Mortalis, witnessing each blow to the narrator’s soul, and falling lower with the emotional blackness of each life disappointment, I felt my own heart clutch at its illusions as the truth Vice brought home to me began to bear down unmercifully. We will all die, without exception. There is no escape. And maybe that is the greatest comfort of all.
