Addition is a short volume of poetry which was, by the author's own
admission, an experiment to see how long he could write without
stopping. The book opens with the axiom, 'if you're not adding,
you're subtracting.' "I opened with that line and I just kept
going," Michael said, "as quickly as possible, and with as little
regard for punctuation, grammar, etc. as possible. The point was to
remove the filter I normally use when I write - to remove the
filter so that I could let my insides out without trying to stop or
shape them at all - to let them be exactly as they are.
Unfortunately, I did edit a little bit after completing it. But, I
stopped myself from further editing when I realized it would defeat
the purpose of the experiment and would also ruin the uniqueness of
the imperfections that happened along the way. I truly believe
everything happens for a reason, and so, I decided to leave it as
is - to except the imperfections as a part of the piece -
imperfections that somehow end up flavoring the piece in a way that
fixing them wouldn't."
