O Yes We Breathe is a collection of earthborn connections, a ragged inquiry into our commonalities and yearnings as humans.
Divided into four sections (Hard News & Kittens in Trees, If Memory Serves, Liaisons Ordinaires, and Ready to Step Into Waves)
These poems address "current" events, the acts of recollection and reminiscence, mortal-to-mortal relationships, and unexpected
spiritual encounters and connections. Embedded and resting at rock bottom in this landscape of dusty farms, remnants from news
and history, summonings of childhood scraps and souvenirs, and arguments for and within love is the awareness that each of us matters simply because of what we all share.
