Invited to come close, the reader enters a sensual landscape, where one can be heartbroken over and in love with the visceral details of daily life, the natural world, and with anyone, at any moment. Sentimental, erotic, of the body, and fiercely human, this collection asks the questions, how many ways are there to love? And inherently, within that, to let go?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eArcing through a year’s time, the collection yields to emotion, pleasure and tenderness. By observing the world with sensitivity, \u003cem\u003eStone Fruit\u003c\/em\u003e makes movement towards the possibility of subtle, yet vital, cultural change. Each poem, at it’s heart, is a love poem of some kind, with it’s attempt and determination to adore detail and appreciate the depth of basic aliveness. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eThis collection of poetry is both reverence and reckoning. How do we express our adoration and attachment while aware of the eminence of entropy and death? What is the quality of our presence, as time passes through it’s seasons? Enraptured with the beautiful ache of this human struggle, \u003cem\u003eStone Fruit\u003c\/em\u003e brings the gaze of the lover to all things, and is offered both as a tool for resilience and as a way to praise. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eCover art also by Aiyana Masla.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp align=\"justify\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #000000;\"\u003eAiyana Masla is an interdisciplinary artist and educator.
