Alternating between eager optimism and somber reclusion, Two by Two: Into the White examines morality and neuroses, agony and peace. The poems transport readers from the sunny arroyos of the Sonoran Desert to the darkest, dampest corners of the human mind. Two by Two is divided into seven sections of short poems, examining youth, love, judgment, solitude, nature, and existence. The final section includes three experimental poems, the culmination of the collection. The product of years of observation and introspection, Doyle's philosophical verses survey the human spirit in all its fluid forms.

The Ashen Garden

In The Ashen Garden, a nameless protagonist becomes trapped in a haunting and surreal cycle of existence. Haunted by an ever-present hum and an overwhelming sense that reality is brittle and wrong, they begin to see cracks in the world-small but growing fissures that reveal a deeper, darker truth. Drawn into an enigmatic phenomenon called "the bloom," they uncover an ancient, cosmic mechanism that consumes all life, weaving every thought, memory, and desire into an eternal cycle of growth and ruin. As they encounter cryptic warnings and glimpses of vast, unknowable beings known as the Wardens, the protagonist is forced to confront the harrowing realization that life itself is a form of punishment-an intricate design fueled by suffering and desire. Their journey is not about escape but about reckoning with the existential horror of the bloom: a flower that feeds on the ashes of existence, indifferent to the lives it blooms and consumes. The Ashen Garden is a deeply introspective cosmic horror tale that delves into themes of futility, self-awareness, and the inescapable weight of being. It is both a meditation on the nature of existence and an exploration of the terror and beauty within the endless cycles of life.
