From the cave paintings of Lascaux to the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, from the Moai of Rapa Nui to the totem poles of North America, and from the Giza pyramids to the colossal Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan, humans have long used unspoken communication that crosses the barriers of language and culture.

From our ancestors visual acumen to the verbose musings of their descendants, a long journey has transpired. We have only found different portals from which to view, realized our view is surely restricted (Woman Who Fell from the Sky), or simply removed more clutter from a door that needs no key (There Is a Door). Now that we, the modern progeny, can posit diverse and varied marks with standard order and fixed traits and to understand their hidden meanings (The Lost Book), we may, through literature, visit a cave painting or stand in awe before a Teotihuacan. With poetry we make these journeys in record time, with bold imagery and clarity. For the walls and ceilings of life, poetry gives us a great paintbrush.

Presenting a seekers journey, this poetry collection explores ancient creation tales, Cajun culture, and contemporary reflections on lifes momentous events.
