between black & white: short poems about life

This new collection of 33 short poems about life was inspired, in part, by the following quote from Jiddu Krishnamurti: "What is the art of living? Where there is division in us psychologically there must be conflict, and therefore disorder. As long as there is disorder, trying to find order is still disorder."

Nowhere is this division more obvious, more acute, and more noticeable than in our everyday relationships with one another in our normal, mundane day to day living. The simple fact of the matter is that we are conflicted, confused and often deeply wounded. And the fact of our "brokenness" tends to manifest as deep loneliness and a feeling of estrangement from the very people we desire to be closest to and share our lives with.
