Liminal (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781962148115)

Life in the borderlands turns the poet's eye to similar spaces beyond that immediate cultural intersection, be they physical, temporal, or interior. Gifted with the ability to "see double," as Gloria Anzald?a terms this vantage point, the poet who stands in between can more readily understand creative and emotional states of chaos and change as being similarly liminal. In his second book of original poetry, David Bowles explores the interstices between languages, ethnicities, genders, generational groups, political affiliations and more, employing a wide range of poetic forms as a fulcrum for revelation and change.
