Collection Overview

This collection of poems and prose illustrates a mosaic of crisscrossed time zones, personalities interrupted, and moments reflected. In between the doorways of bedrooms, the billowing gusts of brewing storms, and the endless queues of boarding lines, the author takes the reader on a journey of experiences that make up the human condition.

Themes and Emotions

Passion, regret, remorse, intrigue and innocence all poke through the surface of these verses. Whether each as a standalone, or combined as a mural, the poems in A Tattered Maps Tale string together like prayer flags at the base of a mountain, begging one to pause and consider love, latitudes and language differently than before.
