Description
Second Empire is a collection of poems that explore the afterlife of beauty, lust, loss, and identity. Through spare and delicate language, the poet examines the ways we experience the world after moments of intense connection. The poems, drawing on traditions of amorous sonnets, are love-elegies that seek to understand aesthetic pleasures and the desire for artistic and sexual connection. They feel both ancient and contemporary, with a formal tone that belies a deep sense of intimacy. Richie Hofmann's poems are marked by a directness and indirection that breaks through their own beauty, revealing the complexities of human experience.
