Adultery Poems

Más información sobre el libro

Adultery with its pleasure, pain and outrage No one writes the poetry of adultery as does Nancy Holmes. For her guide, she takes the poet Ovid who schools her in his tender cynicism and teaches her the art of love. The poems themselves participate in the affair, forming the third party in the inevitable triangle, as they remind the poet that her life and follies are the fuel for art. No matter how ridiculously one behaves or how poorly one chooses, Holmes affirms, the adventure of lust and love is one of the deepest pleasures of our adult life.
