Candice Daquin's second collection of poetry was written after her
move to the American Southwest and reflects much of the
Southwestern & Hispanic influence she has experienced since.
Themes include identity, personhood, being female and passion. Her
writing is wide-arcing and challenging, bringing metaphor and
symbolism into daily existence through at times, phantasmagorical
and dreamlike concepts of existence.
In her third collection of poetry; Illusions of Existing, Candice
Daquin tackles the ever present questions of mortality, age,
passion, rejection, fear and transformation. Through our experience
of existing we learn what is real, what is fragmentary and how
nothing is ever certain, especially through the lens of a creative
soul. At once humorous and dark, Daquin's work provides an insight
into the modern woman's emotional landscape and her perspective of
what it means to exist and not exist.
The journey of personal growth comes in stages throughout life. In
her forth book of poetry, Daquin examines where she is having
tackled earlier stages and found herself to be in a place of
increased honesty and reconciliation. Through a blending of
narrative, exclamation, humor and healing, she shines a light on
the emotional dynamics of existing in a complex world with the
vivid imagery of the American Southwest as her backdrop.
