MORTAL THOUGHTS

As a teenager, Michael Lane only wrote when necessary. He had nothing against writing: he was – and is – an avid reader. He simply saw no need to write outside of satisfying his academic requirements. That was before he spent time with poetry. Poetry became his first creative writing love. They began dating in high school, and she remains his longest-running love affair.
 

Mortal Thoughts is a culmination of decades of intimate conversations the two have shared.
