Madison Scott-Clary Knihy

To call what I am feeling a 'crush' feels inexact. It is not puppy love. It is not new relationship energy. It is not lust. It is an uncontrollable romantic desire.It is not grounded in our friendship or my attraction to her. It is more of an obsession. A desperate need for her to feel the same way about me. A craving. A pang. A wildness of the heart that is as frightening as it is pleasant.It is an unmoored, unmooring thing, drawing me ever upwards in lazy, undirected arcs almost - almost - against my will, ever closer to the sun. Six tales of love. Six tales of need, of desire, of how to live with the ones you cannot live without. Sawtooth may be a nothing town in a flyover state, but those that live there are no less real for it. They bear all the same emotions as anyone else, have all the same needs.

With topics ranging from gender to mental health, flower language to dogs, these five years worth of selected poems by Madison Scott-Clary represent some of her best works, now collected in to one book.

Much ink has been spent following the exploits of our furry characters, but sometimes, the real interest lies in the act of us as humans being furries. Follow the stories of three individuals as they navigate the world of relationships and furry conventions. What I Expected - Meeting for the first time is stressful enough, but all the more so when things don't match up with what you expected. How Many? - Navigating poly is an ongoing process demarcated. Chief among them: first meetings. Again - Exes and transition make for a lot of change all at once.
