Publisher's Synopsis
Lose yourself in this darkly sensuous elegy to a hallucinogenic love-manic, disorienting, and rife with blood and concrete. Through eight prose-poem letters and an accompanying menagerie of free-form surrealist poems, HYDROGEN SOFI is the breathtaking debut collection of poetry from Tanya Rakh. Through her keen eye, unrepentant ardor, and startling sense of incorporeal consciousness, HYDROGEN SOFI navigates the grief, confusion, and ecstasy of surviving an ill-fated affair with an impossible, often cruel muse. Hear shadows laugh as they dance across the walls, just out of reach. Enter a gray apartment filled with burning tapestries, the lovers aflame wrapped inside. Pierce the flesh-red center of an array of lyrical lies too beautiful to let go. This is a can't-miss poetic premiere, an E-ticket to musical sensuality that will leave readers ready to board the ride all over again!
