This provocative, playful collaboration between Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Simic and noted illustrator Michels is a saucy Valentine's treat. Charles Simic, a leading light in the world of poetry, here turns his attention-and imagination!-to Eros. Sensual and skillfully wrought, Simic's erotic poems are electrified by brilliantly graphic and lush illustrations by Howie Michels. Excerpts of this collaboration were featured in Tin House's sold-out Sex issue, the magazine's most popular ever. A perfect gift for a lover, this racy and delightful collaboration celebrates the vivid literary pleasure that occurs when words and images get in bed together.
