- Summary
- "In Jubilee, the effects of gravity are reversed in order to capture how the world weighs on the mind. While "homes move restlessly from dream to dream," the voice in this collection must navigate the mazes of church, of personal history "with a burden of light"--A flame which singes and illuminates equally. These often deceptively measured prose poems critique not only their own form, but the structures, the foundations, of family, spirituality, and identity which we often fail to examine. Each self-portrait tells us as much about the environment as it reveals about the subject occupying them -- the poet creating with a small mirror in one hand, a pen/camera/brush/etching knife in the other. -- Kyle G. Dargan (author of The Listening)" --Publisher's Website.
