What’s considered the worst crime, and who’s the most hated person in America? Most would say child sexual abuse and the pedophile. The principle’s everywhere. How do we normally deal with it? To put it poetically: to go over Thor’s face in the United States and overlook God, the truth of the matter, repeat the vampire.

Tonight on Television, a book of poetry, goes to the heart of the matter—the creation of the pedophile—and proposes stopping the process where it starts, which is in caring for infants and toddlers. It employs the ideal of oneness and non-duality instead of the formula of crime and punishment. In dealing with that, how it addresses the whole issue, paying particular attention to the hatred of the pedophile and the damage that does to society, which is not only the proliferation of child sex abuse, which, it must be said, the poem aims to stop.

I’m the fellow, aren’t I? I’ve spent many years studying the issue, first in university, where after getting a BA in English and minor in History (University of Houston, 1988), I spent three and a half years learning Classical Greek. I translated Greek poetry into English verse, not only to learn the writing of poetry, but to access knowledge on ancient Greek sexuality and the formation of the human ego and sexual orientation in general, doing a self-study on the latter two by reading extensively in a variety of pertinent subjects.

Then, I did an unorthodox fieldwork for several years after Ieaving college in 1993, becoming a vagabond first in the United States and then the world, spending 10 years living in over 27 countries on four continents, during which time I paid particular attention to what when down in the families I lived with. Being an adventure traveler, I usually lived and worked with the local population. You don't believe an autodidact can be an expert? Hey, I’m not just the one, whom everybody is. I’m the one to show you the world.
