my intention
to create art that illuminates our shared, humanistic values.
reason ~ compassion ~ love ~ dignity ~ justice
why write?
i write — to get closer — to the edges
where few — ever dare — to explore
i write — to unearth — inarguable truths
about a planet — with an iron — nickel core
i write — to help my readers — think it through
and to consider — a humanistic — worldview
open to change
courageous conversations about the human condition
freedom ~ mortality ~ loneliness ~ meaning
& connection
