Words for a Lost Year

By Murray Shugars

Arranged in four sections named for the seasons, these poems trace a relationship through the arc of a symbolic year, exploring desire and place and identity. Insofar as they express a speaker's state of mind, these are lyric poems. The author says: "These carnivorous lyrics, backhand love poems, and sorta sonnets embody the gut-punch poetic."
