We Scare Ourselves

<p>We Scare Ourselves is a fresh new book of poetry with an occasional bit of prose thrown in for good measure. Ortega’s poetry plays with decomposition by capitalizing and centering each line indicating that every line standing alone is entitled to its own interpretation its own meaning. Love revolution relationships and music are the principal themes of this new daring work. In this the author of We Scare Ourselves exposes his own vulnerability by drafting a poem then revising and recycling the poem until the better poem reveals itself right before your very eyes. We Scare Ourselves will draw you into a world of contradictions and surreal absurdities by echoing strong crafted images and emotional truths about love and loss.</p>
