Drawing from the profound legacy of Sappho's ancient verses, this collection reimagines the themes of love, desire, and the beauty of intimacy in a contemporary context. Each poem resonates with a haunting lyricism that captures the complexities of human emotions, exploring both the sacred and profane aspects of love. The interplay of nostalgia and longing weaves a rich tapestry, inviting readers to delve deeply into their own experiences of affection and connection.

As the poems unfold, they evoke a sense of urgency and passion, reflecting the timeless nature of human relationships. With Aaron Poochigian's deft touch, the verses celebrate the vibrant spectrum of sexuality, illustrating how beauty can emerge from vulnerability. It's an evocative journey that encourages readers to embrace all facets of love, reminding them of the power and tenderness found in close connections.
