Description

This collection of poems captures the intoxicating complexity of the grand romance, exploring both its sustenance and how its energy is sustained. The poems chart the kaleidoscopic patterns of infatuation and its fractal electricity, composing, in the process, notes toward a biological chaos theory. Romance, here, presents the brain—and the rest of the body—with the most extravagant baubles. These poems show a mind at work when it's flooded this way, with its reversals and sidesteps, its obsessive reiterations and re-examinations, its seeming betrayals and hidden reserves, completely exposed.
