Shifting Registers

See all formats and editions

With a fragmented yet rich lyricism, 'Shifting Registers' crosses borders between lost and rediscovered identity.

The voices in the poems may be tentative and vulnerable, regretful and haunting, or playful and provocative, as they relive and re-imagine half-remembered journeys and encounters.

That which has become strange through its distance in the past becomes once again familiar, while that which is near in the present begins to be unknowable.

Shifting Registers seeks to reconcile the two, and to construct a wholeness for the future, yet without resort to easy answers or false resolution.

Throughout, there is delight in the navigation of different realities and new spaces through language.
