Synopsis

Farhang honors the people, places, and things Patrick Woodcock has seen while working as a migrant writer, volunteer, and teacher for almost three decades. This book is the first of three that will celebrate, memorialize, or eulogize the myriad moments that impacted his life while also shaping the shade and content of his writing. Beginning in Poland in 1994 and ending in the hamlet of Paulatuk in the Northwest Territories in 2022, Farhang travels the globe through Lithuania, Russia, Iceland, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Colombia, the Kurdish North of Iraq, Azerbaijan, Tanzania, Kenya, and Rwanda. From the salt mines in Wieliczka to the dirt paths to the Baraa government school in Tanzania, where he volunteered, Woodcock has tried to honor the moment before it becomes muddled, dulled, or romanticized. Some of the poems are about friends or students, others are about the cracked knuckles of strangers, the crawling and the abandoned. Art, language, architecture, politics, and the suffering from politicians left unchecked are also a focus. Sadly, many of the poems are for friends and locations lost to either time, neglect, or warfare. Farhang tries to chronicle some of what no longer exists or only lives on in the poet’s head and soul.

    Emotions. They drive us forward, striving to achieve the unthinkable. 
    But they can also drag us down, tear us apart, and leave us unwilling to barely lift our heads. 
    Well, I've experienced both sides of this spectrum. And in my first-ever full-length audiobook, Emotions Felt to the Bone, I share these journeys with you in the form of poetry. 
    Some are joyful; others are harrowing. Some evoke humor, and others, hopelessness. 
    Writing and narrating this compilation of poetry has been one of the better emotional experiences in my life. And I want nothing more than to share it with you.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. 
    The Triumph of Good over Evil is a powerful poetic retelling of the Yuddha Kanda—the climactic and soul-stirring final book of the Ramayana. In these deeply evocative verses, the eternal battle between righteousness and darkness unfolds with divine intensity, as Rama wages war against the mighty Ravana to rescue Sita and restore the order of dharma. 
    This collection brings to life the thunder of war drums and the silence of sacred resolve, the clash of celestial weapons and the stillness of Rama’s inner strength. From the building of the ocean bridge by the vanara army to the fierce duels in the heart of Lanka, each poem reflects not only the outer conflict but the inner triumphs of faith, loyalty, and moral courage. 
    Through Hanuman’s unmatched devotion, Lakshmana’s valour, Sita’s radiant purity, and Rama’s divine justice, the verses explore the many dimensions of what it truly means to walk the path of truth—even through fire. The defeat of Ravana is not merely a victory on the battlefield, but the symbolic conquering of ego, illusion, and desire. 
    The Triumph of Good over Evil is a celebration of light prevailing over darkness, of duty fulfilled through sacrifice, and of love that survives separation and struggle. It invites readers to see beyond the epic tale and into their own lives—where the real war is often within, and the greatest victory is the one of the soul. 
    For lovers of spiritual poetry, ancient wisdom, and timeless inspiration, this book offers a lyrical doorway into one of the most exalted moments in sacred literature—the moment when dharma rises, and the world is made whole again.
