They are very good at thinking about the world to come.

A letter to an old friend, a song, a jewel, and a continuously surprising triangular love story, Dear Thief is about the need for human connection and the brutal vulnerability that need exposes.

"This is how I think of that landscape when I stop to remember—although I know, before you raise a sceptical brow, the over-optimism of memory.
Memories of a distant relationship, excerpted from Dear Thief.
