Each of the 32 poems in Here to Be Remade owes its vocabulary to a separate book of poems taken from the writer's bookshelf--usually the first and last lines in that collection. The author set herself the challenge of creating a coherent poem from each word set without borrowing lines or phrases from the collection from which the words were taken. The poems are condensed and diverse, reflecting the mind of a poet as collage artist. Paintings, also created by the author, are interspersed among the poems.
