Description

Hers by Maria Laina presents an ascetic yet autoerotic treatise on love at odds with societal norms. Drawing inspiration from Sappho's women-centered past and Cavafy's homoerotic future, the poems explore the spaces between self and mirror, reality and invention. In these still lifes of the interior, the poet navigates the boundaries between life and memory, beauty and simplicity. The result is a collection that is both abstract and grounded, elusively cerebral and erotically charged. Karen Van Dyck's translation brings the poems into a transparent idiom, letting their mystery shine through. This book is a significant contribution to Women's Studies, LGBT Studies, Queer Studies, and Greek Studies, offering a unique perspective on love and identity.
