Synopsis "In Between (in English)"
In the quest of full understanding of the purpose of our existence, we are left with a daunting task; to try to fill in the profound gap between Life and Death. This collection is a grand rumination on the human: like the sword of Damocles, death hangs above our heads, and we have nothing with which to face this inevitability but the meaning we have created out of our fleeting lives. While the poems included in this book contemplate on Life and Death, they focus on the many facets of those which we encounter In-Between: joy, sorrow, lust, love, apathy, hatred, forgiveness, success, failure, faith, sin, and so on – and how the lessons we learn from them constitute that which we hold on in continuing to live. Life, after all, is worth living. -Jade Mark B. Capiñanes Writer In Between (are a Skunk Scent and a Musk Oil) is a poetry collection about Life and Death—and the Great Drama in between. -Bro.
