Smoke: Poems of Love, Longing & Ecstasy - Paperback

by Ayesha K. Faines (Author)

Smoke is a soulful, sensual exploration of love through the eyes of a woman who spent much of her twenties "walking the periphery". From the impassioned "Locks" to the tongue-in-cheek "Arithmetic", Smoke pleasurably swings between eroticism, fantasy, and full-on confessional. Rich in narrative, lyricism, and astonishing candor, Smoke infuses an age-old subject with sobering observations about sexuality, politics, race, longing, and as the title alludes, the startling power of bad habits.
