Already Dead Live Now

"Knowing yourself is a constant process / that exceeds death," writes Austin Dumas in this brilliant and breathtaking debut collection of spiritual awakening. These poems are not afraid to peer into the deepest depths of the human soul, and what is found there is often surprising, mystical, and transforming. Love, the illusion of separateness, and confronting what it means to be human are unwrapped and explored in this collection, and Austin Dumas's gentle wisdom pervades the book like a guide or a friend. This book is a journey where "all of us are stardust / salsa dancing in / whirlpools of nebulas," and readers will be changed and moved by their time with these poems.
