'Songbird and Phoenix' is a collection of poems born from the strange perseverance of the human spirit. They portray the nuance of being and becoming while wandering through the trenches our existence. Moving through myth, memory and the present, they do not seek to explain, but to let one sit with a world full of contradictions - flight and fall, ruin and rise, silence and song, fire and feather. This collection dwells on the spirits of the songbird and the phoenix - one, who sings sweetly songs of endurance and fragility, heat and heart, remembrance and embrace; and one, who rises from the ashes in a war-cry, carries the promise of rebirth, and tales of fire, fury, and freedom. In their warmth, these poems pulsate - and within us, they continue to live.
