These pieces explore desire in its many forms—spiritual, sensual, intellectual—and do so with a voice that is unmistakably her own. Whether she is invoking Greek figures or delving into the complexities of inner life, her language glows with texture, rhythm, and depth.
This is a wonderful choice for poetry lovers, writers, artists, and anyone who enjoys poetry that is bold, layered, and exquisitely crafted. A stunning volume to savor or to give as a thoughtful, elegant gift.
