What You'll Find in Eden Redefined: - A reflection on human vampires, relationships, and life's meaning in raw and gripping detail- A contemplation of grief, pandemic isolation, and the madness of the 21st century- An exploration of the emotional rollercoaster of human existence>In her poetry, Christine Bode covers the whole gamut of human experience, dealing with such universal, timeless, fundamental themes as the awakening and extinguishing of love, epiphanies about life's meaning, the regret that one feels over lost and broken dreams, the irresolvable dilemmas of relationships, the obsessive contemplation of the eternal "what if?" question that besets us all, the merciless reality of death. All these themes and topics are dealt with unflinching, raw candour, power and fearlessness." Boris Glikman, Author "Eden Redefined teases every sense.
