Symphoniya de Toska: Book One

From American author Marten Hoyle comes a thrilling debut collection of poetry: Symphonia de Toska tells the tragic romantic story of a young lover who will die and then find love anew in the underworld.

In the first instalment of an Epic Trilogy, Book One will relate a sad tale of infidelity that reaches the sorrowful conclusion of suicide. Read as a sequence, the poems tell a tragic story of love, longing and loss; life and death, regret and rebirth. Read individually, or in no particularly assigned sequence, each poem relates a tragedy of a world of insanity and unrequited love. Written in a dark romantic style, the poetry of Symphoniya de Toska is bound to thrill, surprise and inspire in equal measure.

Book One was published on January 19, 2023 - the birthday of the American writer Edgar Allen Poe. A further two volumes will be published later in 2023 through Wheelsong Books.

Marten Hoyle is the name assigned to a Literary Endeavour based at The Eglantine Home for the Poetically Unsound in the United States. The Project is held anonymously in the keeping of a being known a Vate C. Carmen.
