Mutants is the continuation of the process that spawned 100, addressing grief and loss along with newfound discoveries of Fibromyalgia and optimism over pain. This little collection is one part hope, one part discovery, and one part the decision to ride with the other parts while trying to find a better way of life. It's a teaser for the larger sequel to 100, while also featuring a couple poems pre-publication and a few from the current work in progress. It makes for a great sampler, while stoking the fire for what's to come down the road.
These items were originally not meant to become full-fledged poems, but simple sketches that maybe I'd come back to. Hence the title, Mutants. But somewhere along the way things looked pretty good, and I ran with what I had with minimal tinkering. There are times when it's right to find something to build on for growth, and there are also times when you can admit that it's ok to respect and love what you have. I think this minimal chapbook encompasses that, and I'm pleased with it. If pain can come with greater understanding- not just personally, but for the reader too- then I've done the job I set out to do.
