Love Won’t Keep Us Together (but This Will).
Deborah Parker writes about human connection—what drives it, what breaks it, and what remains when it changes.
She is the author of The Attention Principle.
She is currently writing a memoir, The Poet’s Song: Love, Power and the Gravity of a Genius, a personal account of a relationship that reshaped how she understands love, trust, and truth.
She lives in Kingsport, Tennessee with her dog Jake, who, in his own way, continues to teach her about love.
