Synopsis: “Many, if not all of these eloquent poems occur at borders, open doorways, thresholds, boundaries, the confounding and holy places where we begin to leave something behind, without fully comprehending what we’re losing, and where we move ahead with no real certainty of what we’re going to find. In this gift of a book, the first poem is adamant that “It is in the nature of angels/not to show their wings.” Mekeel McBride
