about

From the Authors

Five minutes made all the difference. A couple of red lights, or a train, and we would have missed each other.

But the world conspired to do us good and nothing since has been the same. To paraphrase a line from one of our poems: “We didn’t ask for this; we wouldn’t have known how.”

That chance meeting, at an intimate gathering in the house of a famous writer, begat late-night talk at the house of a famous architect and opened the door to a third house being fashioned, even today, from our laughter and tears — a house held together, not by nails, but by love.

This isn’t a fairy tale. It’s just the story of two people who meet at a crossroads and set out together in search of a better life, courting and fighting the best way they know: with words.

These selections are from a spoken word performance based on our poetry collection, Three Houses, originally published in 2008, with a second edition forthcoming.

The collection comprises an intimate dialogue, a conversation over the course of a year. The poems were heart song, not written for public consumption, but as we reviewed them, a narrative arc emerged that seemed to strike a universal chord. We hope you will find something pure and honest and clean in our sometimes-startling candor.
