Abstemious Doves is a poetic connection that joins philosophy and allegory. It is a profusion of words that are pretty and "always new" inside of an unconventionally unmade thing. I would just as well say, "Dive in, make it your own, and allow the words and photographs to mean whatever to you that they will." Abstemious Doves is not a "Made Thing." It just is. . .Sit down. Put up your feet. Get a cold glass of your favorite beverage or a warm sip of something, and. . .Enjoy. Salome G. Rowe
