"When The Sky Was a Canvas to Make Fun Of" is a poetry collection that meditates on love, lust, war, conflict, and all of the other amazing and awful things that humans go through. For the most part, the book openly rejects poetry that centers on nature and other occurrences not related to human emotion and relationships. Geographically, the book is mostly set along the eastern seaboard, in the Pacific Northwest, and in Israel and Jordan.
