love it--i like the title coupled with the vague understanding of the topic at hand.
yea, i found the identity box-checking section of the census curious--and not as liberal as my trip to the gay men's health crisis center where i was shown a full-page list of options for my sexual preference. i checked one. turned the page and saw another entire page list for my gender.
it made me feel conservative and question my manhood. womanhood? male to female trannyhood?
Let's just go ahead and say it: We Are Not AVerse is an online poetry collective. Now that the pretentious part is over, here's the meat.
We are a handful of young writers - some poets, some prosers - who had the good fortune of convening in one city and sharing each other's company for a few glorious years. We are now dispersed, but hope to use this blog (collective!) to share our work with one another and maintain some part of that communal spirit (of collective responsibility to supporting each other as artists).
Each respective work, obviously, is the property of its writer. So read and enjoy, but be kind and ask if you'd like to use anything you read.
Lastly, if you are visiting, please feel free to comment and participate in our discussions on art, life, fast food, and anything else. Try to keep it constructive, but really: we want your feedback!
Questions, comments, or feedback that doesn't belong on the public web? That's ok! Contact Dinah Finkelstein or Tim DeMay, we are very nice.
