Christina Davis is an American poet most notably recognized for two collections of poetry that deal with philosophically questioning common ideas and emotions: An Ethic, published in 2013, and Forth A Raven, published in 2006. In An Ethic, Davis addresses the grief and darkness of a father's death, the challenges of conventional constructs of life on earth and an afterlife somewhere else. This seems to be a theme building on ideas she explored in Forth A Raven. She phases it simply as "There is no this or that world." As one reviewer wrote, "What follows is a rigorous meditation on this premise, a refusal of the notion that one passes from presence into absence, from life into death, as if by bridge or tunnel. Rather, presence and absence, life and death, coexist—and we are daily challenged to reconcile their simultaneity."
