About the Author
John Koenig is a wordsmith and philosopher whose fascination with the nuances of human emotion has led him to craft a lexicon for the ineffable. A former architect turned linguistic innovator, Koenig draws from his diverse background to explore the hidden contours of sorrow, joy, and longing that define our inner lives. His groundbreaking work, The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, introduces invented words for those elusive feelings we all experience but struggle to name, blending poetry, psychology, and etymology into a tapestry of empathy. Through his writing, Koenig invites readers to articulate the unspoken, fostering a deeper connection to themselves and the world around them. With a voice that is both tender and profound, he continues to illuminate the beauty in our shared vulnerabilities.
