A man falls in love, and decides to immortalize his romance in
poetry. It's a conceit as old as poetry and storytelling itself,
but in Gorgeous Robert James Berry approaches this seemingly dusty
form with extraordinary freshness. Each poem in this collection
offers a startling burst of color, which delights in the senses and
gives immediacy to each scene in this love affair. From the fruit
markets of Southeast Asia to the disheveled hills of the British
Isles, Berry takes readers through the ups and downs of a
relationship over the course of decades, as it experiences lulls
and storms, titanic upheavals punctuated by lacunae of charmed
happiness. Alongside the poems are a series of images created
specially for this book by C. Sabarsky, who applies the luminous
colors of the poems to a series of contemplative photographs.
Sensitive and direct, Gorgeous is a lyrical compendium of pain and
pleasure, the joy and grief of love.
