      ab: The text presents a series of poems by Spencer Reece, exploring themes of faith, loss, memory, and community through vivid imagery and personal reflection. Central motifs include religious symbolism, familial relationships, and historical references, such as the Old Narragansett Church and events like the Brown University shooting. The poems often evoke a sense of walking a tightrope—both literally and metaphorically—highlighting the precarious balance between life and death, past and present. The recurring invocation of a "bright star" serves as a symbol of guidance and hope amid divisions and challenges.
