Monroe is an alter ego that has allowed him to write about certain ideas and experiences in the third person. In this volume, as in previous ones, there are poems of a political nature, such as \"Torture\" (page 56) and \"Animal Skins at the Singularity\" (page 17). While there is a measure of levity in many of these, there are also poems of grief like \"Days Now\" (page 125) since the poet's wife, Carolyn, died in 2022. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHarley now lives in Tucson, Arizona, but has spent much of his life in Newfoundland, Canada, to which many of these poems refer.

The book's title, \u003cem\u003eLife and Death\u003c\/em\u003e, and the photo used on the front cover are explained in the poem of the same name on page 63.
