Stealing Fire

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

The poems that make up this collection tend to play with what is one of the oldest concepts to exist, transition. This collection attempts to demonstrate the experiences that generate the pressures required; such as light and dark, quiet and cacophony, and other binaries that co-exist and, in doing so, create something altogether new. To begin the collection are poems that exist primarily in the surface world; stressing direct life experiences that tend to shape emotions into being. In contrast, the poetry comprising the second section is concerned with the experiences determined by choices we make, hovering where the physical and spiritual intersect. The third, and final, section attempts to push boundaries reality even further by retelling some sacred stories, combining others, and re-examining fantasy.
