Romantic poets, revolutionaries, and gay icons lend their voices to these communiqués from lover to beloved.
Beauty meets History and Love clashes with Revolution in this original, intimate, and intrigue-fueled treatise on politics, passion, and possession. A carnivalesque eroticism pervades as starry-eyed clichés are turns on their heads, shattering their subjectivity and revealing the truth beneath the platitudes in these transhistorical communiqués from lover to beloved.
