Michael Lewis presents gloss as a work channelled rather than crafted—a dialogue from spirit, poured onto the page with a speed and sincerity he often describes as beyond his control. He credits the voices of dead poets guiding his hand, shaping a visceral journey through the abstract and the provocative. gloss delves unflinchingly into themes of romanticism, addiction, grief, hope, prayer, love, and agony. Each piece is distilled with lyrical precision, delivered with the rhythm, urgency, and emotional thrust that define Lewis’s unmistakable voice. The result is haunting, intimate, and breath-stealing—an experience you feel as much as you read.
