In this collection, Woods returns to the themes of obsession, possession, and violence. The author draws on struggles for power in ancient and more recent history to dissect human vanities and desires in ways that expose the personal facets of heroism and atrocity. Working in a variety of forms, Woods treads the thin line between adoration and exploitation, exerting a rigid control of tone in poems whose moods vary between anger at one extreme and hilarity at the other. The outcome is a cool appraisal of all those familiar affinities between the power of love and the love of power.
