Confessions of A Love Addict | Robin Smith

“This is love that guts you, that you yourself gut open, "the inside of your rib cage/ your heart and intestines/ jeweled squid/ alive and threatening." A love that speaks to its own heart and knows, "I'm afraid to be with her and just her." It's a love that expends itself on several affairs over the course of these poems, but which ultimately returns to declare, in "Self Love," that "I will be your greatest love story. . .there is so much joy in relearning." --Heidi Czerwiec, author of Fluid States and Conjoining (part of which appeared as A Is For A-ké with Dancing Girl Press.)   To spend your time with “Confessions of a Love Addict” is to spend your time exploring the sensory spectrum of love, lust, loneliness and all afflictions in between.
