A Deer in the Fog is the debut book of poems published by author David O'Sullivan. Written during the peak of O'Sullivan's personal struggle and existential questioning, the poems within are rooted in life's seeming riddles and many contradictions, and seek to express the pain of coming to terms with them. In so doing, this volume is committed to finding hope in the midst of keenly felt loss and disorientation, and explores the dignity and worth of what it means to be human.
