"I really want to gather everyone I haven't seen for a long time, whom I haven't met in recent months, whom I only hear about, but whose presence has been energizing and helping all this time. For me, this is a special book - it has many names, faces, and sunshine. A kind of painfully conscious balancing between verse and prose, between font and line, between question and answer. I want to share this with you."
