You Are the Phenomenology is a cross-genre book - a blend of poetry, songs, lyric prose, and invented forms - that explores the everyday junctures of perception, compassion, and multiplicity. How might our powers of association create shared experiences without distorting the contexts from which those experiences emerge?One of the volume's innovative forms is a poetic series called ""Quadrilaterals"" - four-line poems that present the reader with various ways to leap associative gaps:Quadrilateral : Pinch in Your HeelSoars the mackled sound, kites ago :A Polish boy thinks with accordions, adopts a stammer :When were we first older than we wanted to be :That was our city, our chisel, the corbeil from which we ate.

This is how we live. Day by day. Looking forward to the rain. Knowing full well that the rain holds the cup, but the ground held the cross... The Family, a made-up title given by one of the main characters, James, is thrust into a world altered by global warming. To survive this harsh environment, the Family must chase the rain and face harsh obstacles in a world in chaos. There will be death and life along the way. The novel is not linear and will take you back to times when the Earth was at a tipping point-- Dr. Zi Pang's theory that water molecules contain messages; shoot forward to Pythagoras voicing his thoughts across the airways, high on hilltop, to anyone that will listen; introductions to the White Cloaks, a religious group that wants new world order; enter the Cube, a gene-altering facility; and realize that PROMAC may have initiated the downfall. This all leads you back to the Family. The Family and a child born for the first time in this harsh world. Past affecting future. The depth of the universe with a potential to make things right again.
