Between States of Matter points out that we spend more time getting somewhere than being there, more time in the process than the final form.

The poems move between yearning and acceptance, yet are shot through with sardonic humor-the poet compares a battle of King Kong and Godzilla to the current state of affairs; a dead husband showing up for dinner must be taken to a restaurant because the speaker still can't cook his favorite food; a seeker of enlightenment will reach that state only by dying in an earthquake. Yet the place that is Between States of Matter is full of possibility. Change could go anywhere.
