“On the streets of New York, a crimson clad love detective rewards her witnesses with a rose. The reader who looks below the celebratory surface of this work — part performance document, part compilation of testimonies of the extraordinary nature of the ordinary — will find that a profound and compassionate impulse drives its persistence. Early on, Karen Porter Sorensen quotes the great poet and florist Theodore Roethke: “In a dark time, the eye begins to see.” Perhaps this is her way of announcing that the “love research” she has undertaken labors to recover the neglected public space, to reweave the ruptured social fabric, to rediscover the endless resource of the other, all through the fearless act in a fearful time, the radical act in a conservatism time, of simply talking, and listening, to strangers. In paying close attention to who we are, she helps us begin to see who we can become.”

--Matthew Goulish, author of 39 Microlectures: In Proximity of Performance

“Karen Sorensen has found a way to explore love through her insightful and intriguing research. Her passion has been shared with the world on her journey to find the true meaning of love.”
