About

A dazzling blend of intellectualism and eroticism, this poetry collection employs sumptuous, sensory language to explore a wide range of subjects, including a blood-drinking Tibetan deity, lemons in Robert Graves' garden, and an East London strip club. By boldly traversing the boundary between the erotic and the sexual, these love poems are both passionate and strikingly original.

Reviews

"[He has a] lyric voice that handles images well, that distinguishes-as few poets do-the erotic from the sexual, that moves language in and out of metaphor with skill and grace."
