This book is the third full-length poetry collection by this award-winning poet. Those familiar with Carpathios' work know that his poems are marked by a directness of diction and startlingly original imagery. He continues the exploration of the body--in all its hungers, hurts, and intense passions, as well as the dark winding tunnels within the body toward where the spirit, or the soul, perhaps, dwells--that was the terrain of his first two collections.
