The poems revolve around the word \"love\" as compared to the precariousness of life and the incompleteness of language, thus generating new images in a poetry that is corporeal, homoerotic, reified and at the same time ethereal. As Lepori writes, \"There are forms of love - both physical and spiritual - that escape the events of what we call reality by convention.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pierre Lepori\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771837357\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771837354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Guernica World Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/01\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 68\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.80h x 4.90w x 0.30d","brand":"Pierre Lepori","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44057727992063,"sku":"9781771837354","price":17.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_613ac5be-cd58-49eb-b442-3bb3b16e861e.jpg?v=1685048584","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/almost-love-pierre-lepori-9781771837354","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
