Pulitzer Prize-winning author reveals an unconventional love affair that sustains political, philosophical, and sexual interest over a lifetime.
"The poetry here-the story here, the dynamic here-does what no other art form really can. It gives voice (in this case a voice in the plain style) to feeling and mood, to interiority, and the fragile ways we construct relationships out of private desires and public lies?. The theme of naming is?a theme about power, identity, shape-shifting, the fragmented self. All that is here. And all this is good enough reason to cherish this little book, its short glimpse into another's life, which, when rendered in poetry like Dunn's, becomes our life, too."
