About this title

Synopsis

In 'We Rent These Bodies', author, T. Dove Lourde examines his own personal memories regarding the philosophy of transformation, dealing with such topics as insanity, death, love, sex, drugs, addiction, religion and other forms of 'euphoria and escape' and how the touch of time can make (and help) us deal with them all, be it emotionally, spiritually or physically. 'We Rent These Bodies' is a deep look at the transient but beautiful world that we all often take for granted and the beautifully transient lives we all live as part of it.

About the Author

Poet/artist T. Dove Lourde, a native Texan now living elsewhere, has published three books of poetry prior to number 4: We Rent These Bodies. Also underway, a novel, Lourde's first, entitled Nowhere to Run From, and a collaborative writing project with the poet Nola, a poetry travelogue of sorts, as of yet untitled. Lourde dabbles in other art forms as well including painting and music and draws inspiration from classic literature, art and music, politics and history, the sciences, nature, and philosophy.
