Elena
Georgiou
"This girl rocks the poetry boat."—Gerry
Gomez Pearlberg
"The debut of a lucid, lusty new voice in American poetry.
Honesty is her trademark, tempered by the rolling music of her
voice. This book unveils the story of a vigorous soul's journey
in and out of love. Whether her speaker is buying lunch at a
falafel stand or bumping into the ghost of Marvin Gaye in a supermarket,
Georgiou's zesty clarity prevails, sweetened by her impeccable
ear and fired, as it always is, by her burning heart. A Cypriot
by way of London, now happily a New Yorker, Georgiou fearlessly
tackles the raw hungers of friendship and romance with a poetry
of rare independence and vulnerability, sass, and sophistication."—Molly
Peacock
