Skipping Stones on the River Styx seeks to define the human experience of loss, grief and death through a deeply personal lens. The poems explore physical loss of loved ones, the energy of objects left behind and the desire to assign meaning to what remains. The speaker in this collection wants to heal and the journey skips from conversations with the dead to contemplation of one's own death, which leads back to gratitude for life, despite the pain that living can bring. Open, honest emotional vulnerability, combined with a playful and fantastic imagining of the afterlife make this collection a unique exploration of what we all must face in our lives: Death.
