Stefan Bourque, much like those born under the sign of Gemini, is known for a passionate relationship with the English language. As Norman Mailer once noted, passionate could often be a euphemism for a love/hate relationship. Despite tempering this type of relationship romantically over time, his affair with words, particularly the creation of sentences to convey ideas, continues unabated.

His journey with writing has involved a myriad of emotions, ideals, and even identities, contributing to the complexity and depth of his work. This life-long affair with language challenges him, sometimes to the point of self-questioning, yet remains a defining aspect of his life.
