<p>With&nbsp;a fragmented yet rich lyricism <em>Shifting Registers</em> crosses borders&nbsp;between lost and rediscovered&nbsp;identity.&nbsp;The voices in the poems may be tentative and vulnerable regretful&nbsp;and haunting&nbsp;or playful and provocative as they relive and re-imagine&nbsp;half-remembered journeys and encounters. That which has become strange through its distance in the past&nbsp;becomes once again familiar while&nbsp;that which is&nbsp;near&nbsp;in the present&nbsp;begins to&nbsp;be&nbsp;unknowable. <em>Shifting Registers </em>seeks to reconcile the two and to construct a wholeness for the future yet without resort to easy answers or false resolution. Throughout there is delight in the navigation of different realities and new spaces through language.</p>
