Like songs of experience, this collection captures the essence of self-discovery. From angsty coming of age examinations like "To Jonah" to pithy confessions in "Last Night", these poems survey the landscape of human experience. While some poems marry Judeo-Christian mythology with classic Greek myths ("Song of My Soul, Intense), others have a tongue in cheek quality ("What the Fool Knows") that allow the reader room for both probing introspection and pleasant reading.

Broken into six distinct sections, these poems touch on faith, hope, love, and wisdom. With discourses on coming of age, the complicated nature of love, and the humanity's prideful pursuit of knowledge, this collection is the product of the poet's unrelenting self-inquiry.
