Preface

"We work in the dark, We do what we can, We give what we have, Our doubt is our passion, And our passion is our task, The rest is the madness of art” ~Henry James

Making Love to Paper

I heave the exhaustion of my day
upon the innocence of paper
whose promise brings purity to light

In expectation of truth
ejaculated passionately
as life exposed and the soul
draws near yearning to possess
the collaboration of our being-

and ink intercourses the whole
