Beschreibung

<p>"<b>An astounding debut.</b><b>"</b><br>-<b>Adrienne Raphel, <i>The New York Times Book Review</i></b><br><br><b>A dazzling love story in poems about one woman's coming-out, coming-of-age, and coming undone</b><br>A woman lives an ordinary life in Brooklyn. She has a boyfriend. They share a cat. She writes poems in the prevailing style. She also has dreams: of being seduced by a throng of older women, of kissing a friend in a dorm-room closet. But the dreams are private, not real.<br><br>One night, she meets another woman at a bar, and an escape hatch swings open in the floor of her life. She falls into a consuming affair-into queerness, polyamory, kink, power and loss, humiliation and freedom, and an enormous surge of desire that lets her leave herself behind.<br><br>Maggie Millner's captivating, seductive debut is a love story in poems that explores obsession, gender, identity, and the art and act of literary transformation. In rhyming couplets and prose vignettes, <i>Couplets </i>chronicles the strictures, structures, and pitfalls of relationships-the mirroring, the pleasing, the small jealousies and disappointments-and how the people we love can show us who we truly are.<br><br><b>"An endlessly inventive, wise, exhilarating book."</b><br><b>-Garth Greenwell, author of <i>Cleanness </i>and <i>What Belongs to You</i></b></p>
