Is it possible to capture something as ephemeral as love with mere words? This book shows that love poetry proceeds out of a failure of language resulting from the opacity of discourse, or the fugitive transparency of reference. It explores race, ethnicity, and sexual identity within the context of the passionate excesses of amatory discourse.
