The protagonist, Wolf One-Eye, navigates exile from a mythological world into a realm defined by quarks and shifting universes. His journey through this unfamiliar territory is marked by feelings of dislocation and solitude, while the poet/narrator closely observes and reflects on his experiences. The cycle of poems explores themes of isolation and the search for identity in a constantly changing landscape.
