Birth and being mark the poems in this second collection by philosopher John Valentine, who meditates on the nature of humanity and existence.

Each verse is a metaphysical musing, an inquiry without an I and a dialogue in silence.

Contemplating our ever-entwined virtues and vices, Birth Certificate dwells on the divine and tragic, the spirited and frail, to create an image of the ideal -- an ephemeral mandala offering order amid displacement in the sea of beings -- only to be swept away with the breath and water of time.
