The second installment of Multiverse, a literary series written and curated by the neurodivergent Adam Wolfond, delves deeper into the realm of "The Wanting Way." Wolfond's entire artistic approach is forward-moving, inviting readers to explore unseen dimensions through the unique pathways of each poem. As the paths unfold, Wolfond's guiding hand extends out, beckoning the reader further into a shared and unprecedented narrative.

The Wanting Way is a tapestry of diverse ways, including rallies, paths, waves, jams, streams, and desire lines, that converge wherever the dry language of the talking world thirsts for hydration. Each poem serves as an invitation to immerse oneself in the playful dance of language, while also being an invitation to participate in an already ongoing dance called forth by the objects and atmospheres of a more-than-human world. Wolfond creates space for new poetics, choreographies, and possibilities to forge a consensual, felt, and feeling world where free disassembly and assembly can coexist.

Within this literary series, there exists a neurodivergent universe that Wolfond's poems continuously peel back, revealing the unnecessary veil between human and nature. Through his poetic lens, he invites readers to embrace a harmonious coexistence with the natural world, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation of our interconnectedness.
