tradition
of
Blake

Shelley.
Philip's
writings

range
widely
across

political
concerns,
love
and
eroticism,
and
the
magic
that
occurs

breaks
through
into

reality.

of
place.

Her CHRIS
TOLIAN
is
one
of
those
people
constantly
searching
for
things
that
he
doesn't
yet
understand.
Finding
muses
makes
him
blissfully
happy.
He
is
intrigued
by
people
and
forever
trying
to
connect.
He
can
be
found
mostly
around
Chicago
looking
for
that
quiet
place
between
the
city
and
serendipity
where
the
wild
things
dance
and
the
sidewalk
ends. The
meaning
of
the
previous
statement,
and
any
other
bleatings
uttered
by
him
for
that
matter,
should
be
taken
with
a
large
dose
of
skepticism…
maybe. His
