Death and Life

Death and Life is the first poetry book by Bianca Bowers, and includes poems and essays written between 1987 and 2013. Dedicated to those who struggle in their youth, and autobiographical in nature, she invites you to journey through various psychological, emotional, and spiritual experiences to discover why death is not isolated to physical loss, but extends to figurative deaths that arise from larger themes such as patriarchy, abuse, depression, love, exile, belonging, and identity.

Take a voyage through various psychological, emotional, and spiritual experiences to discover why death is not
isolated to physical loss, but extends to figurative deaths that arise from larger themes such as feminism, abuse, depression, love, exile, belonging and more.

“Change blows through the branches of our existence and fortifies the roots on which we stand.”

“This collection is raw in its authenticity.”

“As I delved into this I was taken by surprise at the myriad of emotions that I experienced. I was deeply saddened, I smiled so broadly that it lit a room, I laughed and I cried, memories of my own so long lost were rekindled.”

“It’s like reading a refined journal that you wrote long ago — one that touches you to the core and captures everything you ever thought you knew of the mystery of life and death and love.”
~ Amazon USA

“Bowers shares her journey with such honesty that one cannot help but be in the moment with her. I suffered her loss, heartbreak and anguish and was rewarded with liberation, self-reflection and love.”
~ Amazon USA

“Death and Life takes the reader on a journey of true experience by someone that has obviously travelled the tracks from darkness through to the light, and beyond. Amazing work by an incredibly talented poet.”
