An intensely personal collection of poems, the reader will feel as if she's peering at secret writings that are meant for the eyes of the lover alone but somehow transcend the personal to touch everyone who has ever experienced this kind of consuming, wrenching love. Block's precise focus on everyday details - infused with the power of sex and spirit - paint a transcendent, almost mythic portrait of the way two wounded people, both searching for connection, find each other, collide and eventually separate. The words seem to bleed onto the page and even the most graphic moments have a devotional quality.
