2Note: This book now feels like another life. I wrote it when I knew little about poetry and thought editing was more of a nice idea than a necessary practice. I have thought many times about taking it down, feeling like it's not at all representative of my work. Then I remembered Julia Cameron's discussion of how artists rarely get to see people's earliest work. The first poems, the student films, etc. It can make us feel like people started out great and like we must do the same. I'm not trying to claim greatness now, either. I'm just saying, here's my very early stuff. It's all been a part of my process and my growth. And now you can have it for cheap!

Original synopsis:
We all feel the cracking in our bones, the strain of our hearts, and the aching that comes with growing up. Loving, love lost, adventure, a hunger for home (whatever "home" means), nostalgia, angst. We all just want someone to look us in the face and say, "I know exactly how you feel." And that is precisely what High Wire Darlings is here to tell us.
