Joseph O. Legaspi

Threshold

Threshold. A piece of wood, metal, or stone that forms the bottom of a door. You walk over it as you enter a room. A house. Your life. It is a point of beginnings, endings. And changes.

In his stunning new collection of poems, Joseph O. Legaspi explores these liminal spaces, portals that we enter which transform our lives. It is a book that celebrates various courageous outsets across boundaries—bodily, filial, marital, even biblical. Threshold not only offers revelations from both sides of the passageway but tells of human endurance and our longing, our desires.
