"This was one of those rare, transformational vacations. Where, by virtue of timing or location, I felt my world crack open and grow larger. I booked my vacation on a whim, not really knowing where Jamaica was, only that someone once had told me the food was good. I just knew I needed to go somewhere, and I needed to go alone..."This book of poetry attempts to capture the uncertainties and triumphs of exploring the world by yourself. They are meditations on fire, ocean, sense memory, and, of course, mangoes.
