Summary
Writing with diverse poetic forms and using original artwork to deepen the exploration of conflict, Jo Patti presents us with a dynamic and edgy second book of poetry. Not for the faint hearted.
This volume of poetry includes poems which express experiences where conflict has occurred. Conflict may arise from misunderstanding, historical grievances, struggles over control, power and money. Conflict may be borne out of righteous resistance.
Conflict can spur change, pivot positions, leverage negotiation. Conflict within oneself and within personal relationships can be a catalyst for growth. My sincere hope is that you, the reader, find some points of contact with my writing and with my son Denali Schmidt’s artwork, to navigate further into your own life experiences.
Denali was born in Macksville, Australia on April 27, 1988, and died in the Karakoram mountains of Pakistan sometime between July 27, and 28, 2013. May you find some relief and deeper understanding after contemplating these poems and Denali’s paintings and photography.
