Description
Advice for Lovers by Julian Brolaski is a unique and highly wrought volume of poems that explores timeless topics of love with modern sensibilities. Drawing inspiration from Ovid's Ars Amatoria, this collection walks a fine line between classical form and contemporary diction. With its intricate structure and unabashedly voluptuous language, Advice for Lovers offers advice on how to transform the body, navigate the muse, and even leave a lover behind. The book also challenges traditional notions of love and desire, incorporating trans- and third-gender pronouns into its exploration of human connection. This collection is not for the faint of heart, but it will leave you bruised and eager for more.
