There is an authentic self in each of us—finding it, claiming it, and nurturing it is a lifelong pursuit. This collection of poems traces one woman's journey from ice to steam and finally to water.

This collection of poems comes from "breathing in" music, paintings, sculptures, photographs, poetry, literature, and dance—and "breathing out" words. Words that come directly from the work of art, or somehow refract unexpectedly. With inspiration notes for each page, Breathing In, Breathing Out celebrates the ability of art to puncture a hole in our perceptions, to compel us to action, and even, at times, to create something entirely new in us.
