Guillotine: Poems by Eduardo C. Corral

5.0

I don't even know if I can put into words how this book made me feel. I feel consumed. It pulled me in completely and entirely, even if I always didn't want to be where the speaker of a poem was.

Favorites:
- Ceremonial
- Testaments Scratched into a Water Station Barrel
- Autobiography of My Hungers
- Córdoba
- Around Every Circle Another Can Be Drawn

"Desire with no future, bitter longing - I starve myself by yearning for intimacy that doesn't and won't exist."
