An Indian Ass

A collection of lyric and narrative poems that interweave classical myth, decadent imagery, and modern urban observation. The pieces move between elegy, satire, and short dramatic vignette, pairing lush sensory description with erotic melancholy and ironic wit. Recurring motifs include travel, memory, bodily sensation, and the costs of pleasure, with shifts from pastoral landscapes to metropolitan interiors. Formal variety and a handful of translations bring French-inflected cadences and mythic reworkings, while some poems adopt a conversational tone to trace moral reckonings and the exhaustion of youthful indulgence.
