Abstract
"In Bridge, inner and outer worlds exchange with such fluidity that the only reality is common ground. This poetry collection seeks to neutralize the beliefs, language, and challenges that divide us from our own body and from the earth. As dichotomies blur, readers are invited to expand their idea of self. Bridge offers the educated insights of a healing artist, the imagination of a poet, and the humor and honesty of a fellow traveler. The following forty-three poems hope to deliver readers to a greater appreciation of the earth, the human body, and the glorious space between"--Leaf iii.
