Description
Fighting Is Like a Wife by Eloisa Amezcua is a powerful and poignant collection of visual poems that explores the complex and often brutal world of love, loss, and boxing. Through haunting language and direct quotations from sports commentators and the boxer himself, Amezcua reconstructs the tragic story of two-time world champion Bobby Chacon and his first wife Valorie Ginn. The book delves into the ways in which boxing, like love and poetry, can be both beautiful and brutal, vulnerable and surprising. With its visceral language and evocative imagery, Fighting Is Like a Wife is a thought-provoking exploration of the human experience that will leave readers moved and contemplative. This collection of poems offers a unique and unflinching look at the darker aspects of love and relationships, and is sure to resonate with anyone who has ever known the intensity of passion or the pain of loss.
