description: The Next Illogical Step In Love Poetry"The next illogical step in love poetryThe most inscrutable beautiful names in this worldalways do sound like diseases.It is because they are engorged. G., I am a fool.What we feel in the solar plexus wrecks us.Halfway squatting on a crate where feeling happened. 	Caresses."--from "Dear Gonglya,"At once hyper-contemporary and archaic, erotic, indecorous, and extravagant like nobody else, Brenda Shaughnessy seeks outrageous avenues of access to the heart, "This strumpet muscle under your breast describing / you minutely, Volupt, volupt."
