The short lines are honest and immediate, centering the focus on quietly powerful images and revelations that resonate. The humanity of desire, of wanting to be seen, known, enjoyed, and remembered - and how this pulls at us in ebbs and flows in different relationships and stages of life - is so present in these poems. Halloran captures the phenomenon of how pieces and versions of us are known so thoroughly by different lovers across our lives: \"You who sees the truth in my inversions \/ real and reflected.\" The dichotomy between, and paradoxical unity of, the you and me are explored with an irresistible realness and reverence here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-\u003cb\u003e\u003cb\u003eKatherine E.
