Poetry. LGBT Studies. Translated from the Slovenian by Ana Jelnikar. "Mozetič's verses here have caught the ephemeral nature of daily passion—troubled desires pinned down, collected—the wings of such specimens trembling under the poet's breathless breath"—Timothy Liu. "Spare and delicate, these verses mingle sadness and desire, rendering "a remarkably dark and luminous book"—Nicole Brossard.
