Other Endeavours
Erlandson has studied Creative Writing for the last several years. He released Letters to Kurt, his first book of prose poetry about Kurt Cobain, in 2012. The book expresses his opinions on his own life and the society he lives in, as well as his experiences with Hole, his relationship with Courtney Love, the grunge scene, grief, sex and spirituality. He also talks about the death of other loved ones, since the death of Kurt Cobain, his girlfriend and bandmate Kristen Pfaff and that of his father all occurred within less than a year, between April 1994 and March 1995.
He is currently at work recording a soundtrack to the book.
He practices Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism and visits Japan often.

Famous quotes containing the word endeavours:
“To be idle and to be poor have always been reproaches, and therefore every man endeavours with his utmost care to hide his poverty from others, and his idleness from himself.”
—Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
“On a huge hill,
Cragged, and steep, Truth stands, and he that will
Reach her, about must, and about must go;
And what the hill’s suddenness resists, win so;
Yet strive so, that before age, death’s twilight,
Thy Soul rest, for none can work in that night.
To will, implies delay, therefore now do:
Hard deeds, the body’s pains; hard knowledge too
The mind’s endeavours reach, and mysteries
Are like the Sun, dazzling, yet plain to all eyes.”
—John Donne (1572–1631)
