Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. An erotic journal in poems, from a rising star in the American poetry scene, author of the highly acclaimed collection Second Empire. "A book of love poems that consciously and subversively hearken back to Shakespeare's sonnets, marking Hofmann's position as one of our necessary poets of erotic desire." -Jericho Brown, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The TraditionAn erotic journal in poems, from a rising star in the American poetry scene, author of the highly acclaimed collection Second Empire. "A book of love poems that consciously and subversively hearken back to Shakespeare's sonnets, marking Hofmann's position as one of our necessary poets of erotic desire." -Jericho Brown, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The TraditionA Hundred Lovers is a catalog of encounters, sublime, steamy, and frank. Inspired by French autofiction, the poems feel both sharp and diaristic; their lyrical, intimate world brings us everyday scenes imbued with sex. "Eros enters, where shame had lived," the speaker observes, as the poems explore risk and appetite, promiscuity and violence, and, in the wake of his marriage, questions about monogamy and desire. Bringing us both the carefully knotted silk ties of the wedding pair and their undress in a series of Hockney-like interiors where passion colors every object, Hofmann speaks plainly of the saliva, tears, and guts of the carnal, just as he does of the sublime in works of art. A Hundred Lovers invites us to consider our own memories of pleasure and pain, which fill the generous white space the poet leaves open to us between his ravishing lines.

A farmer s cart sends the high-strung horses into panic. Reins in hand, barely missing a large hog enjoying a mud bath in the middle of the road, Pamela manages to bring the runaways to a halt.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Following his captivating and popular A Hundred Lovers, Hofmann's new collection is a queer coming-of-age, tinged with myth: poems that bring us into a fever dream of antiquity and desire at its limitsLONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD . Following his captivating and popular A Hundred Lovers, Hofmann's new collection is a queer coming-of-age, tinged with myth: poems that bring us into a fever dream of antiquity and desire at its limitsRecognizing the fragility of the body and soul in a world of threat, these startling poems stem from a central boyhood memory-the author's near-drowning in a swimming pool on Crete. The observant child was troubled that none of the statues he saw had arms-and then it was his father's arms lifting him from the water, saving his life.Hofmann balances elegance and brutality as he explores the fables of that childhood as well as the contours of sex and relationships in modern cities, in order to write his own personal history of love and survival: "Masculine arms lifted me. / Masculine arms held me while I slept." The poems navigate risks, abandonments, and rescues, moving through a series of mazes that become a labyrinth of erotic awakening, with quick turns and dangerous diversions. In poems that alternately sear and crush delicately, we wander the ruins where the self is lost and broken and ultimately reclaimed: at the dark center, in the heart of the past.A triumphant follow-up to the fetching catalog of lovers in Hofmann's last book, this collection thrills with its archaeology of self, its notes of austerity and decadence.
