Baobab Tree:
Collected Poems 1970-2024
Watch the mood go up and down, up and down, up and down.
​
If there was ever a doubt (and I had plenty) about my having a bipolar disorder/mental illness, there is none... after seeing the whole of Baobab Tree.
​
One must walk out of the flame before analyzing the fire. I could never see the forest for all the trees.
The Backbone Fire is burning in Northern California and because of this, Isabel gains a rare chance to leave her abusive husband. But Isabel surprises herself and steals a puppy, thus complicating her escape which is already riddled with anxiety and doubt. Through fear and fire, Isabel believes she must return the dog she's come to love. Her intended integrity and apology leads her to the crossroads: leave her former life, return to what she knows with a newfound strength, or walk forward into the unknown. Stolen is the prequel to Missing: A Humboldt County Novel
