Of Love

Más información sobre el libro

With echoes of Jacques Brault, Simone Weil, Baudelaire and Petrarch, in Of Love, Paul Bélanger continues his poetic quest for the sources of spiritual ecstasy. In this body of song, the quest includes a series of distinct women as representatives of the Muse: an exciting black woman; a woman met in a poignant one-time encounter; a medley of women with "a variety of skins," who speak "the strangest of languages"; a lady for whom he lives out an epistolary passion; and finally a woman who is dying.
