Poems that weave links between desire and reflex (biology), desire and addiction, trauma, time/seasons and history, and desire and power. Desire and the impulse to protect, desire and art, andphilosophical underpinnings are also explored.
Storied poems paired with black & white photos, capturing the emotional fall to dark, desperate places and the recovery to new beginnings.
Fractions of Destiny
Spoken Word and Music.
Desire is a often a paradox - both tangible and intangible - drawing us to its power, then resisting its pull.
