Love, Life, Art and Everything I Live For is a collection of personal essays about the ordinary and extraordinary things that make us human. It is a collection of thoughts gathered from different seasons of life-love, heartbreak, growth, friendship, solitude, dreams, creativity, becoming, and the quiet moments in between. These are pieces written while figuring things out, learning to let go, finding my way back to myself, and simply trying to understand what it means to live. Some essays are tender. Some are reflective. Some are messy and uncertain. But all of them are honest. This book is a little archive of the things I have felt, noticed, questioned, loved, lost, and lived for. Perhaps, somewhere between these pages, you will find a piece of yourself too.

What starts as a routine deal quickly becomes a grotesque comedy of errors, where competence is rare, coincidence reigns, and nobody fully understands what's happening-least of all the people with guns.

Dark, cruel & dry-humor. Three adjectives used to describe these poems, following me through my life. If a poem does not make sense, re-read with your mind open. Then if it still does not make sense, read my re-cap of the poem at the end. Enjoy reading. -Winter
