Song Of Songs by Sylvie Baumgartel, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

A debut poetry collection from a writer whose vivid verse explores the connections and relationships that make us humanSometimes I like to feel sexy. Sometimes I don't. Sometimes I like to be very plain. Invisible almost, hiding in plain sight. I want to hide and to be found. In the spirit of the biblical Song of Solomon, Sylvie Baumgartel's Song of Songs takes the subjects of love and worship, and brings them to the desperate, wild spaces of domestic life. With a voice at once precise and oneiric, Baumgartel explores the landscapes of sex and desire, power and submission, in this groundbreaking book-length poem that forces us to question the bounds of devotion. An ambitious and vivid debut, Song of Songs is a work of breathtaking honesty, couched in language few of us are brave enough to speak aloud. | Song Of Songs by Sylvie Baumgartel, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
