SUMMARY:Maya C. Popa reads from her latest If You Love That Lady: Poems
DESCRIPTION:If You Love That Lady is a hymn to the pursuit of the unattainable. The title sequence dramatizes the paradox of correspondence: The private worlds shaped by the act of writing\, and the expectant silences that charge our lives. Drawing from nineteenth-century courtship letters\, the collection lingers in the rush of love and the resurrection that follows: “Happiness was no small thing\, / but neither was its cost.” Delivered with piercing elegance and signature wit—“What a formidable excuse he was. / What a pair of borrowed eyes / with a side of Keats”—these poems teach us that desire\, like poetry\, depends on revelation and restraint alike. \nPart elegy to the passing of impossible things\, part ars poetica to the possibility of remaking\, If You Love That Lady explores the inventiveness of longing and its relentless drive\, proving that what breaks us open at last reveals us to ourselves.
