Irony and ellipsis abound in these pages, along with a passion for rhyme, alliteration, and imagery. In keeping with the selfs mutability, the collection offers a variety of poetic forms, some as classic as the sonnet and others as contemporary as graphic verse.This collection of poetry engages the human struggle with time, explores the flux of identity, and considers various conflicts of our world.
