In 'Border/Between: A Symphony In Essays', Carol D. Marsh writes about death, addictions and war while also exploring how written form and expression have a counterpart in music. Structured upon the four-movement symphony and incorporating other forms such as the rock song and the Requiem, 'Border/Between...' seeks and finds its place in what lies between the sharp and unforgiving edges of ideology and judgment. In refusing to allow borders to govern her, Marsh is able to bring compassion and hope to what seems irredeemable.
