Excerpt:
Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein is a story of creation – of a life carelessly imposed upon the creature. Devoid of nurture and identity, it embraces the projection of the monster his own creator has reduced him to.
Much like a newborn being brought into this world assembled within its mother’s womb, we gain a unique glimpse into the construction of the soul from “birth” shaped through parallels between the perverse pair of father and son.

Liminality
Flashbacks and dreams
Are morphing into a temporary reality
For a girl - the participant
In the rite of liminality.
Silent days have exhausted
A sea of youthful steam
Boiling to ease and guiding the soul
To an introspective breeze
Lingering between space body and time
As she is repositioning her place
Within herself in spectral streams
Quieting an overwhelmed mind
When She dares to speak
Asking the universe’s force
To transport her to a home
After the in-between
Of living in a liminal soul.
Her condition virtually devoid of hope
Required that of a phantom’s stroke
To reconstruct her self-identity
Through a single touch
Nudging her over the threshold
To pave her way into a new community
Beyond the stage of ambiguity.
As for the ritual to be complete
She had to believe in her own fluidity,
Rejoice in the chaos procured by the
Dissolution of social hierarchy
Placed into her being by no one but herself -
Allowing herself at last to be
Beyond liminality
