This collection explores the human condition, how we relate to family and partners and the shaping of our identity through the shifting currents of love, friendship and illness. Simon's aim is to make sense of why we're all here, masterfully navigating and negotiating the realities of our existential aloneness. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLuke Icarus Simon's experience as an actor and playwright informs each poem, propelling the reader into a sensual, visceral and passionate world.
