This is an illustrated book of original poems that explore life and existence through the medium of language. In it, the author wrestles with existential questions, conveys phenomenal experiences, and muses on the relationship between human beings, nature, and God. An uncommon aspect of the book is that each and every poem is accompanied by an illustration, meant to augment the reader's mental play of ideas with a suggested visio-phenomenal experience, as language itself is only one aspect of the incarnate nature of human being. We are not mere abstractions, or bodiless spirits, and so perhaps it is not inappropriate to quote Dostoevsky's character, Prince Myshkin, when he said, "Beauty will save the world." (The Idiot) It is the hope of the author that he can offer some solace and camaraderie to his readers through these poetic explorations; to let the reader know that solitude, like "That death the universe deals out [is] a ruse, a faint, a sham!" ("You at Least Shall Not Die.")
