If I were to die today,
I am not sure the words to say.
Live on, be free, and take part of me
Into the world filled with apathy.
The ebb and flow of life, its highs and lows-we spend our lives searching for balance, fighting to maintain it, even at the cost of our health and well-being. What if we accepted the cyclical ride, embraced the joy-and sorrow-in each new cycle? Poet Kurtis Carter doesn't claim to have the answer to this, but the poems in Inner Tides encourage us to find our own.
This collection of rhyming poems reflects on life, our relationship with nature, and our movement through time. Love and loss, wellness and illness infuse these pages, highlighting the opposing forces in our daily lives-and in ourselves. It's these universal themes that will cause readers to see themselves in these poems. Because while it might seem like the poet is at the heart of this work, it's really the collective human experience that lies there, waiting for us to find it.
At times playful and joyful, Inner Tides explores the complexities of the everyday, of our existence, and encourages us to return to nature to find ourselves once again.
