Metamorphosis

Walker Underwood,
The
story is told from the perspective of both
the man but the woman is equally present.
Shifting between third and first person
narrative within their stories, we enter
fantasy and dreams or see the characters
from outside through a
‘bookmovie’.
It
is a comedy of manners about two lovers,
she is a young mom named Rayne, in
Montreal who picks up Walker. His is the
story of the series, and this book sets
the level of intellectual and experential
investigatory writing of the books as they
follow his story across three decades of
studying the ways of love. This book
depicts the expansion of the poet's mind
under the shaping influences of powerful
sexual experience, falling in love, the
responsibilities of being a father figure,
the encounter with the sign system of
Other that is love's apprenticeship, and
the deeping of personality from recovering
time through crossing parallel
families. Rayne is a college teacher
of videography and we are present to see
the growth in understanding of that medium
in its heyday 1975. The tone shows an
innocent becoming wiser in the ways of
love and art. It expresses the hope and
excitement of hippie
consciousness.
