<p> This collection of poems explores the emergence of raw reality through a veil of existential questioning. The poems posit existential questions as logical alienation from material reality, and to brave mundane interactions, without a blanket of ideals, sharpens the edges of social interactions. The scope of these poems’ exploration resides in discovering a balance between illusory ideals and the sharp edges of reality.</p><p> Each piece’s perspective focuses closely on raw events, but balances the potential violence of existence with poetics. The images avoid mediation of behavior by common courtesy. Instead they reimagine stark reality as beautiful in the way the improbable is beautiful.</p>
