Poem by poem, essay by essay, she builds a temple to the perpetual motion of transformation, the wondrous churn of change and exchange that defines companionship, marriage, and ceding our place on Earth: \"not dying, but molting.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrandel France de Bravo\u003c\/strong\u003e is the author of the poetry collections \u003cem\u003eProvenance\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eMother, Loose\u003c\/em\u003e and the editor of \u003cem\u003eMexican Poetry Today: 20\/20 Voices\u003c\/em\u003e.
