Deep Breath, a collection of thirty-one American sonnets and over fifty hand-cut surrealist collages, follows the traditions of Wanda Coleman, John Ashbery, Philis Wheatley, Edna St. Vincent Millay and Terrance Hayes. Written while cycling alone up the west coast of the United States and finished while living in Hawai'i, these poems contemplate a human's place in an expanding (and receding) environment, from the oceans to the forests to the cosmos - and the inspired breath that accompanies all of life. Symbiotic collages guide the reader through the blank spaces between poems, eluding convention and extending an invitation to play - and contemplate - alongside.
