Abstract:
A dazzling blend of intellectualism and eroticism, this poetry collection employs sumptuous, sensory language to explore a wide range of subjects-including a blood-drinking Tibetan deity, lemons in Robert Graves' garden, and an East London strip club. By boldly traversing the boundary between the erotic and the sexual, these love poems are both passionate and strikingly original.
