Each poem in \u003cem\u003eThe Invention of the Darling\u003c\/em\u003e is a mysterious conjunction of spirit and matter, movement and stillness, the divine and the mundane, the sacred and the forbidden. They yearn for holistic union with The Beloved, every sentence another name for The Beloved, every poem another way to say \"I love you.\" Forged in awe of life and love, these poems emerge from the unlit depths of our earthly, material desires and our deepest fears of mortality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Li-Young Lee\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1324123478\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781324123477\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
