description: OUR BRIEF MOMENT IN EXILE is a poetry book reflecting a particular period of the author's life. It was compiled at the Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado. The poems were written between the bookmark events of being kicked out of summer camp and working in the circus. The major theme weaves a pattern of longing for childhood and memory, struggling to lead a meaningful life due to experience. The subtle maturity of man, symbolically represented as the passage from Summertime (August) to Fall (September), is literally the passage of time spent traveling (freedom) to time spent settled down (responsibility).
