Ethical and outspoken, this assortment of poems delves into subject matters such as possession and dominance--which so often come cloaked in the placating language of stewardship--as well as the destruction wreaked upon the planet's natural and social environments. Candid in their reflections upon the limits of morality and honesty, these lyric poems seek to emancipate the voice of witness from despair due to the current state of conflict in the world. Attempting to free communication from any means of restraint, words in this compilation allude to the 'tracer' who exposes an image's delicate outline at one moment, and to tracer ammunition that lethally illuminates a target in the dark the next. Daring and expressive, these poems examine both the savage and the beautiful aspects of existence.
