Death and Life - Paperback

by Bianca Bowers (Author)

"Death is the great disruptor. It thrusts us opposite life's mirror, invites our truthful exploration, and reveals the naked truth from which rebirth is possible and we are free to reinvent ourselves anew."

Death and Life is the first poetry book by Bianca Bowers, and includes poems and essays written between 1987 and 2013. Dedicated to those who struggle in their youth, and autobiograhical in nature, she invites you to journey through various psychological, emotional, and spiritual experiences to discover why death is not isolated to physical loss, but extends to figurative deaths that arise from larger themes such as patriarchy, abuse, depression, love, exile, belonging, and identity.

"Change
blows through the branches of our existence
and fortifies the roots on which we stand."
