The Dichotomy Between Light & Dark : Poetry Box : 9781948461313 : 1948461315 : 30 Jul 2019 : These poems speak to struggle stemming from both the internal and the external--a collection deeply rooted in the human experience, life philosophies, identity politics, faith, shame, pride, trials, and triumph.

And most importantly, how do we strive to see the light in people and in ourselves, despite such turmoil--this dichotomy between light and dark.
