Honest Lies - An Artistic Pursuit of Us out now!

​

About the book

​

"Some truths must be disguised as art — some lies are too honest to hide."

In Honest Lies – An Artistic Pursuits of Us, Ashraf Ghori invites readers into a world of poetic rebellion — where pleasure and pain, morality and madness, love and loss coexist in fragile balance.

Each poem is a mirror reflecting the human condition: addiction and ecstasy, chaos and calm, youth and decay. Ghori’s writing is raw yet deliberate — an elegant dissection of what it means to live in contradiction, to chase freedom in darkness, to find solace in art.

With themes spanning existence, love, indulgence, and mortality, this book captures the pulse of modern disillusionment and the beauty of introspection.

A must-read for admirers of Bukowski, Ocean Vuong, Rupi Kaur, and Leonard Cohen, Honest Lies blends philosophy, vulnerability, and rhythm into a single breathtaking pursuit of truth.
