There is a lonely country called grief, populated by many. Each speaks their own dialect—some words are occasionally understood by others, but more often they are not. This country is surrounded by rivers, spanned by bridges that may lead to other lands. The bridges are gated and crossing them requires many keys. One key is poetry . . .
—Katherine DiBella Seluja from the introduction
There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning.
