ems and prose poems by California poet and yoga/fitness therapist Marcus Elman, with three artworks by French artist Michel Costiou (founder of "Art in Movement").

"...Marcus Elman turns a spotlight on the human condition in all its messy glory. These poems are gems, faceted, brilliant. They catch the light, and dance." -Alexis Rhone Fancher, author of Triggered and Brazen

"One might expect a dancer/yoga instructor who has traveled the world in order to understand other cultures and points of view, to be interested in what gives our lives meaning and how to confront the pain and terrors that we encounter-and Marcus Elman does not disappoint..." -John Brantingham, author of 21 books of poetry, memoir, and fiction, and founding editor of The Journal of Radical Wonder

"Totally relatable and universally beautiful." -Nancy Wilson, guitarist, singer, and songwriter
