Blue Rain Morning is a collection of poetry and an essay about process. The poems reflect the process of acclimation related to the poet being a newly arrived resident in New York City. Alienation, displacement, and anonymity are recurring themes explored throughout the text. The interconnected thoughts, dreams, and observations underscore the complex tension inherent in the relationship between the individual psyche and its new urban environs. Such documentation illustrates the mental process of adapting to a radically altered and evolving individual sense of place. |
