In This Distance: Poems Volume 39

In This Distance examines the relationship between distance and desire, the erotic and the ecstatic, pleasure and paradise. Esther Perel, Audre Lorde and the biblical figure of Eve co-exist in this collection, offering their real and imagined insight as the speaker grapples with questions such as: do we need distance in order to maintain desire? Where is paradise? What constitutes an Eden?
