In this book, the author examines the dualities hidden deep within the human heart and how those dualities are in dialogue with one another. THese are tender poems which stand as witness to the passion of both pain and beauty. The poet wants us to see clearly and love deeply--even though we might "...watch smoke rise/talk about how a heart/can speak into the air." Ultimately, she concludes "...insisting on love's bravery/we go on".
