"This collection celebrates the raw truth inherent in relationships. Life is not neat and tidy. Messy things happen; pain and suffering are encountered as individuals take risks, become vulnerable, and in the process there is energy, a deliberate sense of being alive and carrying on. [The book] is a lyrical enlightening read full of candid observation, pathos and vitality. You will inevitably pick this collection up time and again to revisit and savor its messages and meaning." David Fraser--author, editor

Table of contents: title: Maybe, in love's great stink and stammer, the seasons don't matter at all.  The vast wind warming that sad house, which flourished even in darkest and most unmusical solitudes, came and went without saving anything.  That's what I thought I was doing: saving and freeing my sleeping hunk to pass it on—a lodge for my young hunters.
