This Climate/Science Fiction poetry collection is available for auction to fund rehabilitation centers for birds and wildlife worldwide. The work was created and produced by Erin, who has translated Hélène Cixous’ play, Portrait of Dora. Her Mind Architecture, a play by Erin, was performed at Naropa University, directed by Barbara Dilley—the radio opera, Souls in Eclipse, published by Nerve Lantern. DE COM POSITION was published by Bombay Gin and The Ascent of Dorothy, published in Fact-Simile. Erin has an MFA from Naropa University and a BA from Purdue University.

Her concern for climate change prompted her to create a prototype and commercialize the first off-grid mobile electric vehicle (EV) Charging system, powered by solar energy with battery backup, that charges electric vehicles using sunlight. Due to her pioneering work in decarbonizing transportation, Obama awarded her the Champion of Change for Renewable Energy award. Over the last two decades, she has expanded her development work in renewable energy. Before her work in renewable energy, she was the Founder and CEO of a software development company, creating an e-commerce platform for Fortune 50 companies, and funded a non-profit arm that developed interactive educational materials for kids, with a focus on endangered species.

The collection imagines how winged beings interact with ions of (air, sun, clouds, wind, ice) during migration. To heighten that felt change, the poem is interrupted using the Taxis/Derma method to give humans a visceral understanding of climate change effects on bird migration. Readers will encounter blocked pathways, forcing uncomfortable migration paths, disrupting the norm.
Spoken word poetry using the authors' own termed ‘Taxi Derma’ method, which is read according to the Taxis Derma of the poem. Taxis, or the "arrangement", and derma, the "skin" (the dermis): [ [1] ] becomes the arrangement and effects the skin (nerve center) of the poem.
