Rather than a polished statement, this as an exploration of that age-old mysety – love. This work has no singular manifesto or ideology. Moving through many vignettes, you'll notice that these poems, art works, and interviews are ripe with contradictions. This is more than an accident. I believe contradictions are a source of new insights. Uniformity is a sign of stagnation. If everything is uniform, why even bother to write? The best in us comes out when we explore the full range of our experience. To the gestapos of conformity and well-domesticated creatures, that might seem like a bold statement. But to those with a wild streak, an irrepressible bit of fire in their blood, it is an essential credo: we were born for wildness, and loving is at its best when not quite fully tame.
