This poetry manuscript consists of two chapters titled “Hermetica” and “Lucubrationes” which comprise the book's title. The first chapter “Hermetica” contains more than thirty free-versed poems ranging from less than twenty to over a hundred words long. Even though the subject of the poems fluctuates between a simple sky window to a ranting of a whole society, generally the tone of this chapter is a philosophical meditation on the inner workings of existence, harsh at times yet mindful in others. The second chapter “Lucubrationes” contains six long prose poems ranging between 200-1000 word counts. Each piece titled with a geographical name (cities, towns, villages) is based on the experiences the author had himself in these respectable places during nighttimes (hence the name “lucubrationes”: Latin for deeds by candlelight or during nighttime ). As the narrative unfolds, semi-fictional nightmares or fantasies take hold of each poem, expelling them from reality.
