Characterized by a beautifully realized reciprocity between outer
landscape and the characters' inner worlds, this remarkable
sequence of lyric poetry explores the blossoming of an innately
complicated relationship between a retired fisherman named Monty
Cupidon and a naked, bloodied, and traumatized woman he encounters
standing at a crossroad who cannot remember who she is or where she
came from. The only clues to her former identity are the signs that
she once wore a wedding ring, has a butterfly tattoo on her
shoulder, and wears red nail polish on her toes. Woven with the
narrative elements of mystery and suspense, the poems examine the
relationship--from its innocent beginning through the decay of time
and into the eventual corruptions of knowledge. Showing an
exceptional delicacy of formal control that constantly reinforces
the poem's insights and moving conclusions, the space between
reflection and story, body and mind, and land and sea is examined
as the couple begins to realize that in the very process of piecing
their lives back together lies their relationship's probable end.
