A Step Back is a ruminating compilation of poetry and prose. This critical and comical analysis of love, weight, face, truth, and time challenges the reader to contemplate these words and the additional meanings they carry. Throughout this dream state memoir, we see the lessons that lead Amy Jean to where she is now, and we see ourselves mirrored in each experience, each poem, each story. We are all driving down evolutions avenue. A playful dictionary of created words adds a lighthearted atmosphere to heavy passages. Accompanied by illustrations and photographs, the work leaps into life and incites readers to seek their own glorious future.
