Opis

Like the subject of love itself, this astounding and clever new book of poems by Amy Beth Katz is both satirically funny and deadly serious, often at the same time. It take readers on a transformative journey into the all consuming power of love and desire, from the heartbreaking pleasure of the romantic crush, to Agape, love for the world, to the mad pursuit of Eros -- the insatiable longing to merge with the divine (who plays hide and seek in our lovers, and our own souls.) The profane images will swallow you whole, make you laugh and cut you until you feel that you too want to do something insane and heroic in the name of hungry love. This is ultimately a book about self-acceptance, and readers will find it as empowering as it is refreshing.
