Selfhood is a subject that has perplexed mystics and great minds for centuries. In this anthology we present a variety of interpretations and thoughts regarding what creates the idea of Self, what is a Self, and most of all how a Self relates to the external world. This anthology contains an introduction written by acclaimed poet and translator Lyn Coffin.
Dustin D. Pickering founded Transcendent Zero Press in 2010 with the quarterly magazine Harbinger Asylum, the poet describes himself as "the outcome of many traumatic life experiences." Nevertheless, Pickering embraces the optimistic personal attitude that destiny is what we make of it. He has attended several festivals, including Austin International Poetry Fest and Beat fest, and has published work appearing in the di-verse-city 2013anthology. When he is not hosting poetry readings around town or coordinating events, he enjoys music and time alone. He currently lives in the Clear Lake area of Houston, Texas.
