'nightsweats' is a dreamscape, poetry, narrative philosophizing, and a relationship process separated into vignettes and the only part of the story line that is in a prescribed order. The book resulted from a scattered internal process that encompassed my dreams and converged into many stories, questions, images and free association that burst and hinted, demanded and hid, fought and resolved along a continuum of private meanderings. It took the shape of our dreams, breathless, tantalizing, surreal and abstract.
