Book excerpt: Love, Lust, Longing & Truth is the first book by Southern writer and poet Jennifer Kite-Powell with artwork by New York artist, Chantal Calato. The book is a collection of poems from the author's experiences living and traveling in Europe since 2009. The poems are short, short stories that cross the mutable lines between love, lust, longing, and truth in our lives. From one line verbal bricks like Condensed Milk, the digital dystopia love poem Artificial Intelligence and modern odes, Open Apology to Bukowski and DH Lawrence Hate Mosquitos, Kite-Powell bares all and lets you into her world with abandon, hiding nothing from the reader. New York-based artist, Chantal Calato's art for the book, brings the poems to life in original mixed media works that show the frenetic nature of emotion.
