UnfuRled: UNFURLED
This profoundly visceral new collection of love poems ranges from sensual to playful, ecstatic to mournful, provocative to plain-speaking, including the award-winning poem “Long-Awaited Man.”
“Here is poetry that comes from the exquisite perspective of a woman of a certain age.” —Sandra Cisneros, author of The House on Mango Street and Woman Without Shame: Poems
“Marenghi’s poems are a powerful narrative of modern mature love. Not the Hollywood kind, not teenage romance, but a lyrical rendering of the ‘playlist of her life.’ Poems about Match.com profiles, email banter, unrequited love, first kiss—modern love that is both sensual and sexual. It reads like a dictionary of desire.” —Meg Weston, poet, author of Letters From the White Queen
“It’s too bad they’re not accepting any more submissions for the Bible’s Song of Songs. Catherine Marenghi’s love poems belong among them, with her inspired portrayal of love and a resounding affirmation of the goodness of human sexuality.” —Tom Burke, author of Evil Must Not Have the Last Word
