inward:poems of descent and return
there is a falling that is not collapse but remembering.
these poems were not written. they were excavated.
brought back from the dream world, from the body, and from the depths of jungian analysis.
inward traces an intimate movement through descent, crucible, union and return — following the psyche into darkness, dissolution, eros and the slow, luminous work of being remade from within.
descent | crucible | union | return
the poems move through the ancient cycle of descent and transformation — entering what has been buried, remaining with what cannot yet be resolved, and listening for the forms that wish to take shape.
written from experience toward archetype, they belong to one woman’s inner journey. yet the images that emerged belong not only to the personal, but to the timeless.
what they awaken in the reader is their own.
Teach Me to Breathe Under Water
Pulled under a tide
that won’t let me surface
teach me to breathe
underwater.
Show me
how to harbour
this descent in my lungs
until dawn returns.
made to be held.
inward has been created as a physical object in conversation with the work it contains.
