Book excerpt: This collection is called "seeking the other side" as a way to reinvigorate what acquisitiveness and obsessive work habits deaden-the capacity to connect in some way with the Other, even when that turns out to be a part of ourselves. These poems attempt to reach through or across the boundaries that keep us ignorant of truths beyond the readily apparent. The "other side" is not just as what's across the line between life and death, between self and object of grief, but as what's across any other real or illusory line that stifles access to the fullness of life.
