Part biography, part philosophical musing, this collection of poetry reveals the author's life and insights on love, loss, depression, beauty and humanity. Colored with the moody poignancy of the author's upbringing in the US South, the poems never shy away from a searing self-examination that lays bare the search for meaning in relationships, science and religions. More profoundly, the author explores the nature of love, it's varied joys and, perhaps, it's inadequacy as a surrogate for real happiness. Toomey's poetry wanders freely between traditional, formal modes of verse to less restricted, modern styles of expression.
