Metamorphosis

Abstract

The author introduces her collection of original poems with an ancient Chinese proverb that says, “an invisible red thread connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of time, place of circumstance. The thread may stretch or tangle, but it will never break.” Her poems are written to explore her self and how these characters, these people, are a part of a larger, fuller identity. She explores the other selves that exist within, the people she surrounds herself with, and how they connect to her personality.
