Variations on a Theme of Desire

---

Upon the publication of Variations on a Theme of Desire, David-Glen Smith shares these thoughts with us from his personal web page, comparing the birth of a book to the birth of a child.

"In the end, this moment almost echoes the same moment as when I held Brendan for the first time—the sweet, light heft of weight in both hands, my wriggling fish of a child. In this case, I hold the recording of my trembling voice on fluttering pages: a long-awaited presence."
