Some things resist a single line.
The moment love becomes unrecognizable. The madness of showing up every day for someone who has stopped seeing you. The tenderness inside exhaustion that nobody warns you about. The end of the world, survived with duck tape.
Antonia Wang knows the feeling, and refuses to let it off easy.
In her fifth English collection, Wang takes the long way home through love, loss, identity, and the slow unraveling of the world we thought we knew. Her poems sprawl and circle, linger and leap: from the ruins of intimacy to the vertigo of desire, to the quiet devastation of an ordinary day.
These are poems for anyone who ever swallowed the short answer and felt it lodge somewhere permanent.
"Demons don't roam the dark. They are radiant and soft-spoken."
"Who will survey the haunted forest if not the lost, the ones who can see the riddles in the falling mist?"
"You glimpse the outline of my heart's recurring twilight. You see me contemplating it, and accompany me, in silence."
"Love is what's left when we are stripped of stories. It's what we are."
