Abstract: This collection of poems represents my engagement with the notion of death and its' inevitable outcome in both the secular and Christian reference. It focuses on the unclear terms of death and the possible after-lives that death may produce. It is a cohesive gesture on how to creatively understand the fascination with dying while bringing human mortality to surface. The poems lend themselves to both paranormal and religious beliefs but ultimately rely on a personal understanding of the terms of death.
