Some 16 years ago was madly in love with Caitlyn Howe. I got down on my knees and I promised her with a ring, that I would love her forever. I told the truth, just not the way I thought it would be. Through everything, heartbreak and health scares, victory and vicissitudes, Caitlyn is my ride-or-die best friend. The three hardest nights of my life since we broke up, somehow, she was there with me. The beautiful thing is that both of us are absolutely thrilled with our current romantic partners, and all of us are like family.

And now we get to chart a new adventure together, bringing to life our most vulnerable and powerful poetry in a linked collection, Love To The Seventh Power & Ridiculous Masterpiece.
