Second annual collection of essays and submissions detailing and exploring the complexities and beautiful simplicity of all things love.

This year the Pas de Deux series will grace this site. Pas de Deux, for those unfamiliar, is a French dance (primarily ballet) term meaning “Dance of/for Two”.

Not to mean that all the entries will be about pairing off. In fact, a majority submitted had nothing to do with romantic attachments.
