Borderland: An Exploration of States of Consciousness in New and Selected Sonnets

This collection reads like a one-hour meditation, connecting the reader to an integral view of the world as each part considers how nature, warfare and science collide to create our individual and collective realities. The volume concludes with a sonnet cycle that explores the holistic healing power of the chakra system. Based on the principles of Eastern Philosophy, these ancient Vedic energy centers unite mind and body."The beauty of poetry lies not in its words, but the music that vibrates within them. To explore states of consciousness is to seek beauty. To find beauty is to merge with light." --Julie R. Dargis
