Lives is a rich and lyrical collection of poems ? both a passionate and occasionally ironical account of life in a modern world of infinite possibility. Here is the full spectrum of the varied colors of human experience from the pleasantly erotic to the disturbingly violent.

The need for ritual, reason, and intoxication all serve as (black) comic relief from the all-too-common experience of tragedy.
