Description: In This Distance examines the relationship between distance and desire, the erotic and the ecstatic, pleasure and paradise.
Review Quotes: "Brooke Sahni's In This Distance gathers the great branches of existence--love, family, connection; hunger, spirit, ritual; risk, betrayal, loss--into the pyre of sensuality. It's a stirring collection of odes (and O!) to Esther Perel and Audre Lorde, two of our culture's foremost goddess-scholars of desire, alongside 21st century love poems: Sahni's work is intimate, pansexual, feminist, self-aware, fragmented, orgasmic. In This Distance is a carnal prayer book full of lines as beautifully wrought as bobbin lace, lines of 'sacred tenderness' and the blinding light of a woman surrendering to her own vast erotic power."
