| Publisher Description: With her trademark language--baroque yet colloquial, immediately recognizable but impossible to duplicate--Lisa Russ Spaar has written her most sumptuous, alluring, and steamy poems to date, each one bursting with an appetite for the sensuous and the lingual. "Is syntax erotic?" she asks in Vanitas, Rough. "If so, please. Please read. Here." |
