Abstract
Forks to the Forehead is a collection of poems that explore how truth heralds awareness and vice versa. In this collection I move towards the difficult and nebulous task of describing truth through the use of abstract art, translation, testimony, introspection, and cosmology to spark the brain's neuroplasticity by activation of left and right brain connectivity in effort to redefine personal reality and achieve clarity, though not always pleasant.
