The themes of love, learning, connection and life are bound in these pages by the the ties of transition. Here, poetry is presented as a learning tool in itself and a catalyst by which the reader can experience their own transition. Each poem, or shard, is a refraction of the light of knowledge, rising from the darkest depths. Each message is a piece of a broken dream, or knowledge that has been lost to the obscurity of self-delusion and the smokescreens of modern life, but which is reborn through the words of the book.
