Creativity. Faith. Impotence.

I confess I don't remember writing this short essay. It must have been written during a kind of trance-like obsession, like Fragments Before The Fall, the birthing circumstances of which I do recall. But this wears well. I like it. I sit in awe of it. An essay that begins "Writing is fucking" surely is headed somewhere challenging.

This should have been the introduction to my recent book of poems, A Majority Of One.
