| Bodies Shaped in Paint and Earth is a hybrid collection of nonfiction essays and poetry that charts the past twenty-two years of my life. Organized in mostly chronological order and varying wildly in structure, style, and tone, the essays and poetry trace my evolving perspectives on loss from a naive childhood to an experienced adulthood to a place that hovers, hopefully, somewhere in between. Essay and poetry are woven together with the intention of creating an experience that captures life's fleeting physical and emotional realities as well as the more ethereal, endless realms of an ancient mind. |
