Coeur de Lion

<div><p><I>Now that I am not addressing you<BR>But the “you” of poetry<BR>I am probably doing something horrible and destructive.<BR>But this “I” is the I of poetry<BR>And it should be able to do more than I can do.</I></p><p>Just a few months after the publication of her prize-winning, instant classic debut <I>The Cow</I>, Ariana Reines self-published this stunning book-length poem, now a cult object among readers of truly contemporary poetry. <I>Coeur de Lion</I> is an intensely personal, monologic meditation on longing, sex, and love between a speaker and the object of all her passions, which include thinking and writing.</p></div>
