Introduced by a visit to the French Embassy of New York after years lived in Paris, fast-forwarded to relocation in Reims, France - setting the backdrop for Metzger's first exposure as a contemporary poet in-love, through a whirlwind of contemplation to sudden life change, paused by a spirit altering road trip across Ireland, twice, and ending with a graceful bow of gratitude in Paris. 3VOLVE displays Metzger's ability to dig profoundly into social, political and existentialist philosophies, to question and adjust readers' perspective by providing alternative viewpoints.
