How do we navigate through the many layers of our Self while trying to create? How do we write through our constant transformations that include processes of reckoning, relearning, excavation, and healing? How do we honor our life experience(s) within the context of Other / the community / the world? Navigating With(out) Instruments is a collection of "poetry, micro-essays, and notes to self" authored by multi-disciplinary artist, Traci Kato-Kiriyama.
