Intersersed with selections from her three previous collections of poetry ("Lucifer Starfish", "The Crayon Chronicles", and "The Un-Ilustrated Book of Seasons") are a selection of love poems and collaborative/effected verse that span more than 10 years of Danielle Brown's body of work, much of it previously unpublished."Fate, Choice. What role do these play in the radical confrontation with the Self when all the subterfuge in the world cannot save us from the inevitability of life? Ours is the whimper: the smallest acts of self-sacrifice, the most seemingly insignificant moments when we're just on the verge of leaving but for some obscure reason tarry a little longer than is comfortable and thereby experience the one thing we could never find by searching: the terrible and beautiful presence of divinity within."
