Cusp

There is a density of imagery in Cusp that speaks to an exuberance of spirit and a lively mind. The poems sing off the page, create worlds and make leaps of imagination. We find ourselves unsure of what world we are in, yet always in safe hands. An original collection, full of perspectives that give us pause.

We are asked to engage, to think, to upend expectations, to delve as deeply into our unconscious. We are asked to care. In this liminal space on the Cusp, it’s a challenge we should rise to.
