Inspired by Ovid's instructionalĀ Ars Amatoria, with overtones of Renaissance sonnet cycles,Ā Advice for LoversĀ is a highly wrought volume of poems. Intricately formal but saucy and contemporary in diction,Ā Advice for LoversĀ walks a fine line between the anything-goes orthography of the Elizabethans and the shifting etymologies of James Joyce. Sexy, kinky, disquieting,Ā Advice for LoversĀ blazes an erotic trail into the twenty-first century.
