DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe author searches for answers to spiritual quandaries in this collection of poems. Her poems form a lyrical conversation with an ominous and omnipotent deity, one who controls all matters of the living earth, including death and destruction. Her acknowledgement of the breadth of this power under divine jurisdiction moves her by turns to anger, grief, celebration, and even joy. From personal to collective to imagined histories, these poems explore essential, perennial questions emblemized by natural disasters, family struggles, racism, and the experiences of travel abroad.
