| This collection of poems from B. Morrison reveals her journey of transformation. Standing on the threshold of a new life, she examines the past and the world around her for signs in her quest to recreate herself. Pushing aside the veils of illusion and habit, B. Morrison takes a hard look around. Knowing what to discard becomes as important as discovering what to embrace. She explores the natural world, scouting for anything that might mark a path. She delves into her own past, as an archeologist might, to discover forgotten roads and highways abandoned half-built.
At the same time, she never loses sight of the friendships and fears that come with city life. As documented in these poems, she moves seamlessly from a cabin in the woods to an office in a high-rise. She travels the world, finding revelations in country after country. Calling herself a pilgrim, a pilot and an explorer, she lays aside all that is no longer of use and moves forward into the unknown.
Because these poems are grounded in the things of this world, they are accessible to any reader. Anyone who has considered making a change will want to read and reread this book.
