This satchel of illustrated poems is a creative response to a loss of what could have been, something that slipped through my fingers. I have asked myself,  how might have things turned out if I had gone left as opposed to right, taken the stairs instead? But these thoughts are evasive, they walk circles around a quiet truth. Oftentimes things don't work out how we sincerely hope they will, and we walk away wounded, despite this reality, we have to try and try again. In the face of dismay we must try and try again. The digital interactive iteration of this illustrated anthology is currently in progress.
