The collection features a unique blend of traditional poetic elements and modern themes, exploring complex topics like mortality and desire. Centered around W. B. Yeats's idea that serious subjects are "sex and the dead," Muldoon delves into unexpected reflections on contemporary life. A notable section examines a failed poem using entomological forensics, while another series poignantly addresses the desire to memorialize fatal car accidents. This juxtaposition of decay and eroticism creates a provocative reading experience, described as a thrilling ride for the adventurous.
