The Night Path

Kutchins explores the unknown region of understanding between a woman and the tissue forming itself inside her womb. As cell's divide and grow more complex, so does the poet's relationship with what is soon to become her son. The poems of growth, and ultimately separation, begin to illuminate her relationship with her own parents, the earth as living organism, the universe. A beautiful and meditative book about the natural cycle of life and death inherent even in the ultimate creative act of birth.
