Something deeply sexy about understanding why we're here

I've noted before C.Dale Young's latest book Torn.  Here's an interview my good buddy RJ GIbson did with Young:

Check out this wonderful moment:

RJG: The beloved and devotion show up throughout these poems, definitely. But they're complicated relationships.  Especially the idea of devotion and, most especially, devotion's practice.  It creates an interesting tension. You have these tightly constructed poems that are contesting with their own content.  Did you have a particular model in mind for how these poems dealt with their own tensions?

CDY: I don't have a model for how these poems dealt with their tensions. I do know that for five of the eight years I spent writing the majority of the poems in this book I obsessively re-read a lot of Donne's poems. I was drawn to their complexities of emotion, the ways in which emotion could be restrained or released, the ecstasy of loving a God one could never really know physically but wanted to know physically. Is there anything more homoerotic than reading the ecstatic poets?  There is something deeply sexy about trying to understand why we have been put on this earth.
