In Tandem, a book of poetry and paintings mirrors our life as a couple in many ways. The process of putting this book together has been a lot of fun and at times, difficult. We have thrown out a poem and a painting or two along the way. We have experimented, stepped out of the bounds of our comfort zones, encouraged each other and offered honest criticism. Most of all we relished the opportunity to create something together that we hope will be both beautiful and honest.
