Taking Shape

Taking Shape

Published by Porcupine’s Quill 2008

Taking Shape is about love, its powerful personal history, its public geography and geology, how it changes, how it shifts itself into different forms and temporalities, and how that love profoundly alters an individual’s point of view and the world at large. Finally, Taking Shape also is about the nature of shape, how the very form or vessel, like language itself, persuades us to take on as well as escape from the many breathtaking landscapes and mysteries, clues and possibilities of our shared lives.
