This is the first full poetry collection I’ve written since Armida Warrior made the switch to being about as many mediums as I’ve felt possible to do. It’s about the arts, and how different arts affect me differently, and their effects often linger when they’re being cycled through. It’s a preview of how my mind relates to my arts, and how each one has come to be. There’s no explicitly stating what poem relates to what, just a broad spectrum of art relation. 
 
As always, I started with a title. This time, however, I didn’t know what to name my new collection. Instead, I’d titled it, Working Title, and never updated it. No matter how long I was writing, or how many poems were added, there was no name that fit this collection better than the one it already had. These pieces of poetry started being written around the time Armida Warrior got a facelift and started morphing into every medium, rather than only horror stories and verse. I kept this name because this was its era: my new beginning. Some of these titles romance my work, while others discuss my mindset finding what I wanted to do, and what I wanted to be. Each and every one, like always, is a bit of word vomit. Collecting it in, Working Title, was my way of welcoming in this new era.
 
It’s about artistic freedom, and allowing myself to become who I am, rather than putting myself in a cardboard box in the corner. There’s only so much you can do inside of a cardboard box before you begin to miss crayons, colored markers, and kid scissors. The freedom I’ve gained from doing all of the arts allowed for this artistic exploration of, Working Title.
 
The collection itself is of an 102-poem length exploring where my mind was, and where it came from, as Armida Warrior became a multi-medium dream.
