An Amorous Discourse in the Suburbs of Hell by Deborah Levy

4.0

She’s the manic pixie dream girl, that he can’t tame into a compliant wife, without her feeling like he’s poisoning her very essence. And her desire for him to be someone else is killing his desire for the relationship. This poem is beautifully written (ofc, it’s Deborah Levy) with seemingly random prose, that under deeper investigation provides a deeper meaning on contemporary relationships. I really enjoyed this and it’s angelic and heavenly symbolism.
