Love, Lust, Longing & Truth is the first book by Southern writer and poet Jennifer Kite-Powell with artwork by New York artist, Chantal Calato. The book is a collection of poems from the author's experiences living and traveling in Europe since 2009. The poems are short, short stories that cross the mutable lines between love, lust, longing, and truth in our lives. From one line verbal bricks like Condensed Milk, the digital dystopia love poem Artificial Intelligence and modern odes, Open Apology to Bukowski and DH Lawrence Hate Mosquitos, Kite-Powell bares all and lets you into her world with abandon, hiding nothing from the reader. New York-based artist, Chantal Calato's art for the book, brings the poems to life in original mixed media works that show the frenetic nature of emotion. Kirkus Reviews says: "A debut volume of poetry explores the emotional highs and lows of love and all its incarnations." "A bold and exhilarating collection of erotic, stream-of-consciousness poems."

Jennifer Kite-Powell adds honest angst, emotional logic and candor to her work. Influenced by Charles Bukowski, Bernadette Mayer, and Harold Pinter along with Mark Twain, Ranier Maria Rilke, and Milan Kundera, Kite-Powell brings a touch of acerbic reality, mixed with longing and realistic romanticism to her stream of consciousness poems short fiction. Her work in Love, Lust, Longing & Truth evokes a feeling, smell or emotion that leaves you at the edge of what's comfortable. The author was born in San Antonio, Texas, grew up in Thomson, GA and has spent the past decade floating free in Europe. She currently lives nowhere, somewhere between here and there with her beagle Henry. Chantal Calato Calato is a multi-disciplinary artist who is influenced by her hometown Niagara Falls and its conflicted history of natural beauty and industrial waste. Her art spans across installation, photography, and painting. The constant is always a desire to create something that has lasting meaning when it exits the walls of her studio. Calato lives and works in New York City.
