Perishable

By Stelios Mormoris

Book Overview

Poems exploring the relationship between joy and elegy.

In Perishable, Stelios Mormoris asks incisive questions about the nature of human connection: Where does memory live--in the body, in the mind, or elsewhere? What happens when the objects that surround us--a wedding ring, an empty purse, a harp--reveal necessary truths about ourselves and those we love? As the book unfolds, lush sensory details and unmatched lyricism are brought to bear on these lingering concerns in a style as neoclassical as it is contemporary. In poems that radiate with intelligence, Mormoris combines understated elegance with finely tuned music and evocative imagery.
