In this collection of poetry and photography, Jeremy Taylor shows us how the fear of death can be confronted directly both by the joy of living and by the realization death is only part of a greater journey. He explores the unity of life and death, and the challenges that each of these provide. We live in a culture that sees death as the final enemy. Instead, these poems and images suggest, death is only part of a much larger and more mysterious process in which we all take part. We can transfigure death and deprive it of its dread by an appreciation of the life we live, in a world that far different from what we usually suppose. From fear, we can move to hope and full acceptance of a peaceful transition. The poems and images in Migrating Through Mortality all convey that in the midst of death, the spirit not only survives--it goes home.
