I really enjoyed this beautiful poetry and found the style and imagery very vivid and inspiring- it flowed well and conjured up very specific emotions. These weren't the kind of love poems I expected- they were mostly about loss of love, or the complication of not being able to fully be in a relationship with another women because of the time period in which these were written. There was an aching feeling throughout the book- where there was deep passion and love, but under the cover of night- it was secretive. She writes of loving sexual relationships but also the lover having to leave the next morning... it was all very raw, touching, and painful- yet conveyed with such beautiful words.
