Synopsis

Physically grounded in the American South and Southwest, the poems in Are We There Yet? chart the poet's psychic and spiritual journey through the regions of youth and maturity, faith and uncertainty, innocence and experience, and past and present, reflecting the contrarieties of time and its incompleteness. These lyrics depict an unfolding emotional dialectica—a struggle, where moments and events are held up and analyzed for clues about how we stand firm amid the velocity of circumstance and experience.
