Sinopsis

Every life is finite. Though circumstance and timingámay vary, death remains the one inescapable attribute of theáhuman condition. Awareness of this inevitability andárecognition of the transient nature of our biological selvesáprofoundly affect each personâÇÖs perspective on their life andáits meaning.The poems in this book relate to one or more aspects of mortality --- disease and decline, death and remembrance. Many of the images and metaphors are drawn from nature. In addition, each poem is paired with a piece of artwork intended to resonate with the writing and enhance the readerâÇÖs experience.Despite the seemingly somber theme, all of the poems feature vivid imagery and abundant wordplay. The collection also presents a potpourri of styles, ranging from traditional forms to free verse to hybrid works. Nine of the poems have appeared in literary journals, and six have been recognized in regional or international poetry competitions.In a world ravaged by contagion, famine and war,áExitsádovetails with the prevailing zeitgeist.
