Artist Statement 

I wanted to write poems that highlight the importance of books. One poem, “Blooming Books" argues for the importance of books, while the other poem, “Burning Blooming Books” explains the destructive and ill-advised activity of burning books.  A quote from the German poet Heinrich Heine is the epigraph in “Burning Blooming Books.” The beauty of this book is that the poems and structure were made simultaneously.
