Synopsis

Skimming the Surface is a collection of poems by American Indian writer Billie Urabazo. The work is about living a life and getting it right. And wrong. Themes of embracing life and art, overcoming illness and regret, coming to forgiveness and beginning again are presented with clarity and honesty, and flow past the reader like the moving water of a life lived. Each work stands on its own, yet adds its own energy, life and color to the whole. Skimming the Surface speaks to the writer and artist about the creative process, and to all who love the imagery, language, and the nuances of the written word. This work is bold, often humorous, speaking to anyone who dares to live inside their own life.
