The Station Before

Poetry collection that travels across time and space. Nothing is secure: memory destabilizes with its resurrections; seeing cannot be taken for granted; borders fluctuate and crossings abound. Though not afraid to draw on many sources, these poems explore how thinking masks a fragility, the knowledge of our mortal selves.
