IICWLIM: A Chapbook Film (2023) Based on the poetry anthology “If I Could Write Love Into Men”, this experimental short features key poems exploring queerness, maleness, and intimacy as it devolves the author’s desperate desires for a new generation of men to be raised through love & acceptance as opposed to fear & control.
