A dazzling exploration of the intimate and public landscapes of passion from the American Poetry Society’s 2018 Wallace Stevens Award–winner.

In haiku, tanka, and sensual blues, Sonia Sanchez writes of the many forms love takes: burning, dreamy, disappointed, vulnerable. With words that revel and reveal, she shares love’s painful beauty.

Praise for Sonia Sanchez:

“With an unblinking and critical poet’s eye, Sonia Sanchez has been setting her readers straight, telling the ‘terrible beauty,’ and reflecting images in ways that simultaneously solicit tears and laughter.” -Juanita Johnson-Bailey, Ms.

“[Sanchez] looks deeply into that most dangerous of places–the heart.” -Quarterly Black Review
