A selection of poetry, prose and script. Including the short story, 'The Boarding House' and the play, 'Poolside'. Each piece stands individually, so the book does not need to be read chronologically. However, common ideas pepper and thread the collection, whether thematically or semantically, including: beauty, desire, otherness and nihilism. * * * I hope you find at least one sentence that resonates with you.
