somewhere between shadow and light

somewhere between shadow and light

is a romantic satire of interwoven stories about family

intimate relationships

menstruation

anxiety and depression

societal patterns

cultural norms

fear and death

love

inner peace

and the quest for one's inner truth

a spectrum of one human's shifting perspective

through a growth cycle

recorded in voice

this book is a physical residue of

and tribute to

the awakening of clarity

the poems grow and expand at variant

rates from shadow to light

we each find ourselves in a variance of clarity

at differing moments in time

with differing degrees of light

through which our perceptions serve us

here lies

the etched

entrenched relief

of my journey

somewhere between shadow and light
