ABOUT THIS BOOK
Weaving together violence and beauty—“the beginning of war was also a blossom”—The Traps is a lyric collection that refuses a straight-forward narrative. Rather, each poem uses images to evoke an array of emotions: passion, terror, longing. These compact, yet intricate poems explore “traps” in the word’s many connotations; whether we are in “the narrowest spaces” or “tied to the rafters,” we are tempted, lured, and ambushed.
