Summary
This debut's spare, delicate poems explore ways we experience the afterlife of beauty while ornately examining lust, loss, and identity. Drawing upon traditions of amorous sonnets, these love-elegies desire an artistic and sexual connection to others-other times, other places-in order to understand aesthetic pleasures the speaker craves. Distant and formal, the poems feel both ancient and contemporary.
