Animal Vegetable Mineral

In the 5-part poem Animal Vegetable Mineral, the narrator moves through a series of incarnations, illuminating a new part of themselves within each vignette.

Each section begins with a shift, a movement such as, “I died,” “I came,” “I went” or “I stayed.” This speaks to the idea that, as our life stories fall into chapters, sometimes we need to leave behind the self of one period in order to step into the next. The journey is our story and we make and remake it as we go, growing into ourselves by virtue of each intriguing person, fascinating place and curious thing we meet along the way.
