Edges Of Existence

The three works in this volume concern people either slipping from or trying to
grasp needed levels in life. In The Case of Arlene, a mental patient will only
reveal her traumatic past to an itinerant part-time worker, creating intrigues
within their facility. The Lightweight, written in verse, is essentially an epic
poem about a regular guy. His story offers meaning in its commonality
with the aspirations and weaknesses of many other people. In The Celestial
Opera, a reunion of two old friends at a funeral leads to deeper understanding
of life, death, and what may lie beyond.
