by Maggie Miller
Maggie Millner's electrifying debut is a coming-of-age love story, a story of coming out and a story of coming apart. A woman in her late twenties leaves a long-term relationship with a boyfriend for another woman. The affair thrusts her from an outwardly conventional life into queerness, polyamory, kink, and unalloyed, consuming desire.
Written in rhyming couplets with disarming frankness, what ensues is an exploration of obsession, gender, identity-making, sexual experiment, and the art and act of literary transformation.
