The poems which comprise WREST were written between 2013 and 2016.  Born from a climax of alienation and distress, these poems are fruits of Saturnian reckoning. For the author, they are affirmations and stimuli for rehabilitation; the naming of ills and the sourcing of pleasure and trust, rooted in the terrain of psychic and subjective bodies.
