Book Description
Cilla dumps her fiancé, Matt, and his well-heeled lifestyle to tackle a new future aboard Tindarra, a boat she buys on time-payment. Romance for her will be the Chinese junk sail she plans to sew for her new home. Matt scoffs and tries to spoil her independence but during her first sail a three-masted junk crosses her path and she makes a tactical error that has far-reaching consequences for that independence. Sheltered water sailing is the way Cilla wants her boating – that is non-negotiable. Deep water scares her witless. Has it not stolen people she loved? Why then has she fallen in love with Jim, an architect who loves the ocean and sails it for pleasure and business? She won’t compromise with a partnership that doesn’t involve sharing one hundred percent, and the sea is a no-no. Jim has reservations too, for a serious relationship would spoil his lifestyle, and yet this petite girl has grabbed his heart. He knows she fears open water and wishes she would accept his help to beat her demons. To win his angel-sprite must he give up all else he loves? These are star-crossed lovers indeed, and the sea cares no more than the stars.

Useful Junk
Author: Erika Meitner
Publisher: BOA Editions
ISBN: 9781950774548
Category : Documentary poetry, American
Languages : en
Pages : 104
Book Description
A master of documentary poetry, Erika Meitner takes up the question of desire and intimacy in her latest collection of poems. In her previous five collections of poetry, Erika Meitner has established herself as one of America's most incisive observers, cherished for her remarkable ability to temper catastrophe with tenderness. In her newest collection Useful Junk, Meitner considers what it means to be a sexual being in a world that sees women as invisible--as mothers, customers, passengers, worshippers, wives. These poems render our changing bodies as real and alive, shaped by the sense memories of long-lost lovers and the still thrilling touch of a spouse after years of parenthood, affirming that we are made of every intimate moment we have ever had. Letter poems to a younger poet interspersed throughout the collection question desire itself and how new technologies--Uber, sexting, Instagram--are reframing self-image and shifting the ratios of risk and reward in erotic encounters. With dauntless vulnerability, Meitner travels a world of strip malls, supermarkets, and subway platforms, remaining porous and open to the world, always returning to the intimacies rooted deep within the self as a shout against the dying earth. Boldly affirming that pleasure is a vital form of knowledge, Useful Junk reminds us that our selves are made real and beautiful by our embodied experiences and that our desire is what keeps us alive.
