Martinis and fantastic breasts. A wild wedding hangover. In love-poems, conversations, intimate jokes from a hundred parties, five prisons, and three beloved bars, Jill McDonough's second book tells where we live, and how: each day fresh with the gift of it. Often frankly autobiographical, her poems are also peopled with others’ stories, and vivid with reality. Above all these are poems of love and desire—ardent, funny, and erotically charged.
