Lonely Women Make Good Lovers

內容簡介

內容簡介 The daring and deeplysexy poems in Lonely Women Make Good Lovers are bold with theembodied, earthy, and startlingly sensual. Theseunforgettable love poems-queer, complicated, and almost alwayscompromised--engage a poetics of humility, leaning into the painful tendernessesof unbridgeable distance. As Kuipers writes, love is a question "defined not bywhat we cannot know of the world but what we cannot know of ourselves." Thesepoems write into that intricate webbing between us, holding space for an "I"that is permeable, that can be touched and changed by those we make our liveswith. Inthis book, astonishingly intimate poems of marriage collide with thefetishization of freedom and the terror of desire. At times valiant and atothers self-excoriating, they are flush with the hard-won knowledge of thedifficulties and joys of living in relation.
