Can the notion of Romantic
love withstand our endless postmodern moment? In these extraordinary poems,
Kimberly Grey explores our abiding need for neatness, order, and symmetry in
matrimony, considering our ideals for love and language in this digital age—its
weightless, distracting, and inescapable pressures. She portrays the ways in which love reflects us back to ourselves:
familiar but strange, predetermined but new.
There is “a drop of
blue light,” she writes. “But no high-tech way / to say you’re mine. No way to love / each other but with these ancient
bodies."
