She still loves Louis C.K.

He has numerous books in print by a small publishing company – poetry and a short story. His heart biting dreams of becoming a known author in the atmospheres of both novel and film, churns and groans in his soul. He views this world through distinct observations other than what is of bland sculpture – finding solitude in the more melancholic corners of this world, corners not seen to the norm.
