"Is there a male and a female line of thinking? Of course. We are all bigendered individuals, but there are certain moments when we are more single-gendered than others.
With special thanks to: Samuel Beckett, Bertolt Brecht, Alexandra Kollontai, Bulat Okudzhava and anonymous song poets from Africa, Italy and USA who have hummed their dreams for so long they have become songs."
