Summary

"Sexy, telegraphic, edgy, and rapt....Exquisitely visual, cuttingly witty, Moore's poems are at once cool and searing."--Booklist In her third collection, Honor Moore returns to the charged territory of her earlier poems. Here, erotic and almost surreal lyrics, dreamlike meditations, and a sequence of elegies create what Jorie Graham calls "a searing exploration of exposure--as the concept impacts all stages of human life and also death."
