The Ardors - Paperback

by Kathleen Peirce (Author)

"Startling in their mystery, these poems are entirely original; abstract and passionate, sensual and otherworldly, trance-like and exciting . . . . The Ardors is a book that takes us beyond ourselves, beyond our workaday bodies and souls."--Jean Valentine.
