    This was an incredible read. While I wasn’t moved by most of the poems, some of the lines were so powerful I had to pause and read them again and again. Works like these usually lose something when they’re translated, which I think is part of why I couldn’t entirely enjoy the prose. But the themes of love and heartbreak are resonant, and considering this was published almost 100 years ago it’s even more powerful. The sensual, erotic nature of many of the poems are so jarring and yet fit so perfectly. We should talk about sex like this—we should revere and worship that connection.
