Description: Possession and loss, rapture and despair. David St. John's narrator remains unflinchingly aware that the trajectory between these two states is brief. Like a modern Dante's Virgil, he guides us through a mosaic of experiences, each more intense and illuminating than the one before. Once our journey commences, its central purpose soon becomes clear: to limn the vast architecture of erotic desire and communion.
