Casually read, What We’ve Become is a collection of poems about romantic love; more broadly it examines how we decide our days.

Defined as mutual trust, care, and acceptance intimacy is an enigma. Humans crave (and require) mutuality, but humans do not crave the vulnerability required of it. Intimacy expects the person practicing it to be vulnerable and vulnerability is inherently unsafe which challenges our primal survival instinct. This is the paradox that motivates these poems where subjects decide to endure in, or evade, intimacy also to meet their primal needs. The choices determine not just who we do or don’t spend our lives with but how we spend them.
