By Way of Introduction is a compelling, emotionally rich poetry chapbook that examines internal struggles and loss, as well as how kindness and joy spawn resilience. This chapbook explores the soul through the lens of Internal Family Systems theory—the notion that each of us has a system of minds—as well as how healing involves discovering compassion in the core of your Self and extending that compassion toward all of your parts. Westby's superb command of craft and his sonic and spatial experimentation prove truly remarkable. He examines the nature of healing as being "Not a confrontation, but an openness / Not a battle, but the slow steady / Courage of curiosity." This vivid, deeply evocative chapbook prompts one to: "see if [they] might add / a simple note / of joy."
