preface

Alternating between eager optimism and somber reclusion, Two by Two: Into the White examines morality and neuroses, agony and peace. The poems transport readers from the sunny arroyos of the Sonoran Desert to the darkest, dampest corners of the human mind.

Two by Two is divided into seven sections of short poems, examining youth, love, judgment, solitude, nature, and existence. The final section includes three experimental poems, the culmination of the collection. The product of years of observation and introspection, Doyle's philosophical verses survey the human spirit in all its fluid forms.
