The following collection of poems is concerned with exploring the realms of birth, life, and death—not necessarily in that order—and also strives to touch upon the peculiar instances that exist inbetween these three states of being. Within the first section, Born Between Us, attention is given to a heterosexual relationship linking the dualities of male/female and the process it takes, the story that is generated as a result of their combination in order to create life anew—whether it be portrayed through boy/girl, he/she, mother/father, husband/wife, personified summer/winter, or grandmother/grandfather. The perception in this section steers away from the supreme act of creation—Genesis, or the idea of a body crafted from a single image—and approaches an unraveling theme of separation: first from God, then humans, and finally, life.
The second section, Back to Life with Movement, is heavily focused upon death and its aftermath; the content and tone here seem to suggest an absence of a God, and yet, there are God-related references, such as Heaven and sin. What occurs after death is a highly debatable subject; it seems only natural, then, that a tug-of-war among Nature/Religion would manifest.
The third section, A Body Becomes a Question, while appearing as the collection’s finale, is actually a meditation upon the aforementioned inbetweens—the uncertain paths which lie in wait beyond death and before one’s birth, and which, perhaps, blur together into a singular, undistinguishable point.
