the bone ball

Hi, I’m Tristan Robert Lange — a poet who writes at the crossroads of existentialism, emotional depth, societal critique, and the gothic. My work often journeys into the human psyche, weaving dark and atmospheric imagery with profound emotional insight. I draw inspiration from literary voices such as Edgar Allan Poe, Jim Morrison, Charles Baudelaire, Sylvia Plath, Mary Shelley and Bram Stoker, among others. Their influence fuels my pursuit of vivid imagery and unflinching exploration of the macabre, the mysterious, and the sacred-in-subtext. My poetry is both confessional and visionary, haunted and haloed, carrying the weight of suffering but always straining toward transcendence.
