About this title

From the Back Cover:

Fiercely intimate in its honesty and fiercely formal in its measures, Molly Peacock's fourth collections shows the poet at the height of her powers. Using her trademark rhymes, characteristic humor, and daring sexual and psychological openness, Peacock intertwines at least four types of original love in her poems: a narrative of meeting again and marrying in midlife; the tangled knot of mother/daughter love; a quest for the spiritual; and, finally, vibrant love of the self, triumphantly recovered after childhood abuse.
