Love Thesis is a collection of eight love poems, each one an expression of joy for this earth and its inhabitants. I have always been an artist who feels things deeply, an aspect of myself I consider to be a gift. However, an open heart has its risks, and can often lead to deep pain. This magazine is an offering from me to all other lovers – encouragement to keep going, to keep trusting and loving, despite the possibility of getting hurt. I believe the pure, selfless joy in loving is worth it all. This is my thesis on love.
