is(ness) is a collection of poems that capture my experiences as distinct moments, places, and dreams, akin to snapshots or paintings frozen in time. The book is divided into four sections: EAST [wake], SOUTH [arrive], WEST [dream], and NORTH [depart], each representing different stages where these experiences reflect the places and dreams that inspired the poems. Each section draws inspiration from the words of poets that resonate deeply with its theme.

Some poems explore themes of prayer, travel, and identity, while others delve into dreams, states of consciousness, and presence under various influences. For instance, in the poem "Calm," I reflect on the morning beauty of Rocky Mountain National Park while attending a conference in Colorado. Another example is the poem capturing the awe-inspiring sight of a thunderstorm racing across the desert plains and mountains at dusk, against the backdrop of the Sangre de Cristos mountains, celebrating the vibrant colors, awe, and power of a life-giving rainstorm in an arid landscape.

Other poems, such as "Enter Dreamtime," are inspired by years of dream journals and explore the realm of dreams in four distinct parts. The poem "there is light there" contemplates the idea of leaving behind something influential, reflecting on the theme of departure.

Each section and poem in is(ness) serves as an exploration and definition of moments, instances, places, identities, and dreams. The journey creating is(ness) has brought me a sense of calmness and has refined each poem into a unique "quality" reminiscent of a painting or photograph.
