The collection features large, inclusive poems that explore the complexities and mysteries of love. With a contemporary voice, the work delves into intimate relationships and emotional connections, offering a profound reflection on the nature of love through self-questioning and introspection.

Reversible World addresses threats to our planet and its ecosystem. It is a courageous, Whitmanesque, passionate book that urgently concerns itself with time, hope, climate change, science, mythology, and history. Its dazzling use of metaphor surpasses that of other contemporary poets. It has an aura of being concerned with something bigger than we can grasp. The love poems are its shining stars, but in a sense, they are all love poems.
