Bend My Light

Twenty-three poems. Three movements. One unflinching journey from the depths to the light. Alexander Gwyn's Bend My Light arrives in audio for the first time—narrated by the poet himself, layered with music and ambient sound that move the listener through descent, search, and arrival. From addiction and rebirth, to the cosmic wonder of the universe, to the quiet grace of solitude—this collection speaks to anyone who has ever searched for meaning in the darkness and discovered light on the other side. Listen slowly. They were written that way.

Reception is what waits on the far side of arriving. Where Bend My Light was a journey—descent, search, and arrival—this second collection does not move through darkness toward light. It begins already in the light, and asks a quieter, harder question: now that you have arrived, how do you stay? How do you remain awake, present, and whole in a world that keeps pulling you back to sleep? These poems are not a story but a practice.
