Hedgehog's Dilemma and Other Poems

The Hedgehog's Dilemma and Other Poems: The Quagmire of Quandaries is a collection of poetry that emerges from this contradictory terrain, where people are confused by the intersections of belief and doubt, self and society, and progress and regression. The renowned story, "The Hedgehog’s Love," the central poem, provides the conceptual basis for the poem's title -hedgehogs searching for warmth have to control their proximity to avoid injuring one another with their quills. Relationships, whether they be amongst partners, groups, or nations, are rife with the contradiction of closeness and injury, which makes this metaphor a perfect symbol for today's world.
