Water Tiger is a collection of lyric poems, free verse and fractured sonnets, in which Kelly explores themes of love, madness, forgiveness, and empathy. Kelly takes the reader on an emotional journey ranging from mystical Ireland to the isolation of a painting studio and thedesolation of a state hospital, ultimately finding peace and perspective among Adirondacktrout streams as well as the rain forests of Central America. It is in the rich, healing religious mythology of the Costa Rican Bri Bri people that Kelly encounters the powerful, dangerous spirit creature known as the Water Tiger, whose presence is felt throughout the book.
