Olga Broumas

Frank, incendiary, and luminous collection by influential poet resounds with intense sensuality and seductively unique music.

Written and arranged in an experimental mode akin to music or choreography, these fragmented lyrics create space and resonance honoring the physical splendor of both the body and the poem. This new edition includes several new poetic sequences and an extended essay.

A collection of poems, including The Massacre, No Harm Shall Come, Touched, Evensong, and Amberose Triste.

This is a book of letting go, of wild avowals, unabashed eroticism; at the same time it is a work of integral imagination, steeped in the light of Greek myth that is part of the poet's heritage and imbued with an intuitive sense of dramatic conflicts and resolutions, high style, and musical form.
