Touch: Poems by Henri Cole
Features poems that are impelled by a dark knowledge of the body - both its pleasures and its discontents. Alternating between innocence and violent self condemnation, between the erotic and the elegiac, and between thought and emotion, this title includes poems that represent a kind of midlife selving that chooses life.
A sumptuous new collection of poems.. Cole is known for his hair-raising erotic intimacy... but these poems are emphatically universal. (The New Yorker)
