Julie Weiss will make you hunger for “café con leche,” “caramel- dipped \/ castaña de mazapán,” deep-fried churros dipped into “an ecstasy of chocolate.” This collection enchants and aches. I am obsessed with these lovers and the world they inhabit, the “gasp of mountains \/ in slumber, voluptuous under snow- woven \/ blankets.” Weiss has left me teetering, and “I'd risk it all again and again.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—Allison Blevins, author of \u003cem\u003eCataloguing Pain\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEchoing the secret desire every poet has to enter a sacred space, to write about love in a way that pulls the reader in, instead of puckering the mouth with too-sweet clichés, this collection is as rich and decadent as the “caramel-dipped \/ castaña de mazapán seducing your tongue.” This is a collection to be read tenderly, whispering in the ear of a lover, at a seaside picnic, or on a rainy day remembering that one. Julie Weiss pays homage to Adrienne Rich, but also Pablo Neruda, and Amy Lowell, in a most devastatingly beautiful way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—Danèlle Lejeune, author of \u003cem\u003eLandlocked: Etymology of Whale-Fish and Grace\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA sexy and lyrical ride, and wild one too—careening at times like a steam locomotive, and at other times like a dragon in fiery “breath ablaze.” Hang on tight. These poems charge forth from the inspiration of Adrienne Rich’s love poems into remote and tempestuous territories, a firestorm of passion and wisdom. Through her poetry, Julie Weiss creates an aching invocation of romantic love between two women, “beautiful \/ as a revolution.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e—Karen Poppy, author of \u003cem\u003eDiving At The Lip Of The Water\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJulie Weiss (she\/her) is the author of \u003cem\u003eThe Places We Empty\u003c\/em\u003e, her debut collection published by Kelsay books, and a chapbook, \u003cem\u003eThe Jolt: Twenty-One Love Poems in Homage to Adrienne Rich\u003c\/em\u003e, published by Bottlecap Press.
