The book is described on Amazon as a "sequence of poems. "In the sequence of poems comprising Annie Guthrie’s first book, the quest for the meaning of human consciousness and its tangled subjectivity is drawn as a slow-building narrative of the mystic experience. The journey enacted is that of the self as character, who encounters insurmountable mysteries in a breaking selfhood," the page says.
The University of Arizona Poetry Center has a bio page for Annie Guthrie. "Annie Guthrie is a writer and jeweler from Tucson. Guthrie is author of a book of jewelry design with Chronicle Books and a book of poems, The Good Dark, with Tupelo Press," it reads.

Annie Guthrie Is Married to Husband Tommaso Cioni
In the Women's Quarterly Conversation interview, Annie Guthrie said she is married.
"My husband Tommaso Cioni is my greatest teacher. He is a great manifester; he writes poetry with his lifestyle," she added.
"I was trained as a reader. My family was book-centered. In junior high I always hid in the library at lunch time to avoid the other kids. I think writing is just what young readers begin to do. There was never a decision. My Mom always made us keep diaries," she said in that interview.
