Abstract	"My book entitled Nature Abhors is about loss, the inevitable by-product and, (perhaps pessimistically) the final result of love. In the past four years I have had a great deal of loss in my life. This book is a rumination on what loss has meant for me personally and also what I have found has been a more universal feeling of loss since 9.11. It is determinedly not about that disaster but more about the zeitgeist since that world-changing event. Nature Abhors uses a structural book form first developed by Hedi Kyle and promoted and refined by Claire Van Vliet of Janus Press."--Artist's statement.
