Why this book? What's it about?

Yeah.

So I have said, and I think it's so true that my, I don't know that I've written a book.

I think I've always collected my poetry books because I write poetry all the time and I've been writing it for my whole life.

And so like in 2010, when I first put out my first book, I was like, oh, I have enough poems, you know? And then in 2013, I was like, oh, it's time again, you know? Now, this one was a little bit more than that.

I hadn't put out a poetry book in eight years, but my father passed away four years ago.

And even as he was dying, I was in Finland.

And were you out in next week because you were grieving so heavily or you weren't in touch with yourself or you were like trying to figure out a new self?

So I'm curious what you have to say about that big change.

Yeah, it is significant, and, you know, we've been in this Virgo-Pisces polarity, which we went through the pandemic with our [chuckles] Virgo-Pisces, and we went-- It sort of been, felt like a, a healing crisis in a way, and a need for that north node in Pisces, a need for a more universal love, a need for more compassion, a need for a collective new dream.

Now, we needed that, and I, I think we are in process with that.

But now we move into a very, I almost wanna say, you know, Leo-Aquarius, they're fixed signs.

They're in the center of the sign, and it's kinda like, "Let's get to work." They're in the thick of it.

And Leo is so much about the desire or the will to illumine, to light, to bring the light, to bring love, to bring the heart, to bring our unique identity in a way.

And Aquarius is so much about the collective and the new age, and, you know, we think about Aquarius as the water-bearer.

I'm just wondering what you think about the delineation of Chiron moving out of Aries and into Taurus.
