Summary:

"The book's title suggests the constantly shifting in-between-ness we all must live in-between life and death; between the self and the desire to forget the self; between the search for meaning and the acknowledgment that life may not make sense; between the beauty of the natural world and the ongoing sorrows of life; between the need to put something into words and the limitations of language"-- Provided by publisher.
