Written during the Spring and Summer of 2016, this book of poems wrestles in the time where the author felt a chaotic beginning. The title, Last Days on Earth, does not mean that we are finished. In the Last Days On Earth… represents how our old ways are being replaced by what is emerging as a "New Love." The ‘sections’ of the text and the "off-mirror" like images created in each two-page spread are meant as spaces for meditative reflection. This makes it possible to read a few lines at a time and have the space to reflect and feel what they ‘mean’ and how they resonate in you. It is in that resonance where we have an opportunity to feel a greater connection to one another and all. The ‘sections’ of the text, and the "off-mirror" like images created by each two-page spread, are meant as spaces for meditative reflection. In this space that Ross gives the reader the chance to read a few lines at a time and resonate and feel in that space—in the meaning and refrain to explore a deeper connection to oneself and another in the world.
