Little motors seeks romance and intimacy amid the familiarity and mysterious power dynamics of marriage. In Lacour’s poem, “Marriage is this animal with two heads,\/one body,” something awkward but also magical. As the poem progresses, the couple tells each other stories, myths, and fairy tales, gradually transforming their marriage into an epic of their own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe love letters of \u003cem\u003eLittle motors\u003c\/em\u003e are comic, tender, and vulnerable, comfortable with classical literature, but also with \u003cem\u003eAbraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter\u003c\/em\u003e. Little motors plays with the conventions of the romantic poem while, at the same time, never giving up on finding that place in marriage where “there’s no darkness between us.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eJustin Lacour lives in New Orleans with his wife and three children, and edits \u003cem\u003eTrampoline\u003c\/em\u003e.
