""This book is a graveyard-- each poem a headstone proclaiming someone we once were. As life forever reminds us we are at its mercy, we have to rise to new challenges, adapt to new circumstances, leaving pieces of ourselves behind along the way. Through themes of pain, loss, and change, what a mess our viscera makes reminds us of the parts of ourselves we have to bury, and the parts we still hold onto despite the blade they drive into our hearts.""
