About This Book

A sequence of intensely personal poems follows a man's emotional and sexual awakening during middle life, centering on a fraught liaison with a married woman and its tensions with domestic life and society. Imagery of moonlight, roses, rivers, and rural labor unfolds scenes of longing, jealousy, ecstasy, mourning, and spiritual reckoning. Voices shift between elegiac solitude, frank eroticism, and lyrical observation, exploring fulfillment, loss, creative impulse, and the interplay of body and soul. The collection arranges individual lyrics into an organic arc that moves from desire and conflict toward a tentative transcendence or resolution.
