About this ebook
📖 The Belliads: A Book of 36 Storms
By Al Konda — The Mythical Poet
A soul doesn’t break. It storms.
Welcome to the birth of a new poetic form — The Belliad — forged in fire, grief, revelation, and resilience.
This collection gathers 36 storms — each a Belliad — shaped by the fiercest winds of love, identity, betrayal, longing, and spiritual exile.
Structured in four phases — The Gathering Storm, The Confrontation, The Spiral, and The Integration — each Belliad mirrors the arc of healing through poetic rigor:
quatrains, couplets, villanelles, and resolution flow like thunderclaps across the soul.
This book is not simply a collection of poems.
It is a map for the wounded, a canon for the true, and a testament to the sacred fire within human suffering.
You will find here echoes of ancient epics, the pulse of modern anguish, and the bold refusal to let poetry decay into shapeless fragments.
🌩️ For readers of:
Rainer Maria Rilke, Sylvia Plath, Dante Alighieri
Those who carry scars and demand meaning
Lovers of structure, rhyme, and poetic integrity
🔥 Inside:
36 Belliads (99-line poetic journeys through the storm)
A new poetic form that redefines how crisis can become art
A sacred rhythm of collapse and rising again
“We don’t just heal. We transform. And the poem becomes our storm.”
— Al Konda
