Wishing To Be Human, a book of poetry and art

Wishing to Be Human

Have you ever wondered what an artist sees when they look at a painting? Or what it would be like to walk through a museum with an artist by your side? Or how visiting a museum effects the work of an artist?

I invite you to walk with me through museums, palaces, and repurposed factories. We’ll hear from artists, poets, and would be revolutionaries as they struggled to figure out what art is and what it means to be human.

The journey starts with the poetry of coming and going and ends with the poetry of being. I’ll invite you to see the beauty of a sunrise while driving to work and I’ll encourage you to challenge your assumptions about what seems important.
