Description: "In her debut, Barbara Duffey challenges the love lyric's confidene, whether in its speaker, its object or its methods. These poems turn instead to popular culture, history and science -- from biology to nuclear physics -- for answers, often returning frustrated with relationships, mental illness, and the body, but with a renewed love of language and the natural world."--Back cover.
