Imagine a poem of which each verse contained several other poems within itself. Imagine a single autobiographical poem that held within itself the whole of a poet's finest body of work so that the poem itself was not as important as the journey through the poet's life it led you on; from heartbreak and grasping at love for someone unattainable, to explorations of sexuality and family history, to listening to the whispers of unconventional gurus, to the unbridled scream for equal rights, to finally capturing a love that's real and the healing that it brings.
