What Is Literature About? — The Short Answer Is: Everything!
A more specific question may be: — What are my poems and novels about?
The answer can be narrow or wide. The answer depends on the focus.
In general, we can say that poetry and storytelling are about being human, and especially it is about being this special person, being this individual in the world.
The human being experiences things that are unique, special to the individual, but which are expressions of shared experiences that the human shares with many people.
In my fiction writing, I examine conditions around being human in isolation as an individual, and being human in a context, together with others.
I am currently working on completing two novel projects. In the one which I started working on a year ago, it is about illuminating easy and difficult aspects of the relationship between two lovers.
