The wild awake
a reading from the erotic compass of the world
by Paulann Petersen
"Petersen's primary theme is love, what the Greeks called eros and agape: courtship and ritual, sex and death, romance and tragedy, friendship ad devotion, sacrifice and rebirth." "Here, too, readers will find Petersen naturally reworking myths and folk tales as she speaks of "Snow Red" and "Mermen," brides, dreams, and lovers. Immersed in the sensual, preoccupied with sleep and dreams, these poems also explore the relationship between our interior and exterior lives. Signature poems like "Appetite" and "Mirror of These Eyes" exemplify the boldness, control, and mastery of language she employs throughout this well-made book."--Jacket.
