A companion for transitions, HOW TO BECOME NEW is an artful attempt at capturing the intricacies of how it feels to grow and to be changed. Because we are all leaving behind imperfect footprints and entering into uncertain futures, this book of poetry addresses and captures the resulting doubt, faith, achievement, and loss we all come to know in times of recreation. No matter what stage in life, these deeply intimate poems are meant to be read with oneself in mind for subjective meaning and purpose.
