COEUR DE LION at THERUMPUS
“Cœur de Lion, beautiful and thrilling and wrenching, is filled with the best of this bad writing, the embarrassing confessions and grim details and unfortunate emotions of life. It lays all of this out in a love poem, lyric in every sense of the word, and in its bareness it is a total success. Toward the end of the book, attempting to make sense of her attraction to Jake despite everything, she notes that it is “rare, to undertake an act / That’s truly free, and not just a response / To a confused surge of drives and fears.” How exhaustingly wonderful to have Reines’s own confused surge spill forth in this unforgettable book.” -T Fleischmann
