Description
Couplets by Maggie Millner is a novel-in-verse that explores obsession, gender, identity-making, and sexual desire through the eyes of its narrator. This debut work reimagines the traditional rhyming couplet as a powerful tool for self-discovery and transformation. The story follows a woman who leaves her long-term relationship to embark on an affair with another woman, thrusting her into a world of queerness, polyamory, and unbridled desire. As she navigates this new landscape, the narrator grapples with the strictures and structures of relationships, mirroring, pleasing, and small jealousies. With captivating passion and skill, Millner's writing dances on the tightrope between intimacy, vocation, domesticity, verse, and pleasure. This riveting debut is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in exploring the forms we want to be held by and break free from.
