Synopsis

We Don't Know That This Is Temporary forms a fiercely heartbreaking treatise on the aching chasm that too often forms between lovers. An emerging master of her craft, Barrios unapologetically taps into the inner monologue of a human still learning what it means to be seen, held, touched, made safe, to be enough for themselves and others, and to be filled with something more substantive than another's thoughtless limbs. These poems are for anyone who has loved with every vulnerable ounce of their being, and everyone who's been left unsatisfied with the results.
