Becker's poems struggle for the acceptance of aloneness, and the shunning of anything that hinders transcendence. She finds assurance in the story of the water spider-how something so small could bring the sacred light to the world after others had failed. Her work achieves autonomy through illness. "When one inherits trauma, / it is in the blood. In the bones.
