As If Scattered: Poems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798990014923)

Alternating between core poems and informal erasures, As If Scattered embodies, in highly imagistic language, the existential experience we have when we fall in love and as we age. The erasure form loosens and takes apart the core poem much the way our old sense of ourselves changes in times of great transition. These are love poems, poems about the mystery of being human and how our respect for this mystery directly relates to how we care for our planet. Mason's poetry reveals authentic elements of these mysteries, pieces of the light within our vulnerability.
