Description
Book SynopsisAs with Constantine's previous titles,
Dementia, My Darling can be enjoyed at random or in order. However, when taken in sequence, the poems construct a thesis on life as we remember it from moment to moment. What is your first memory of love? How soon will you forget answering that question?
Trade Review"Constantine’s most ambitious, most courageous, and most fully realized collection yet."
—James Cushing, The Los Angeles Review of Books
"Dementia, My Darling is a powerful book yet it is written with empathy and respect. It shows us a different way to extract meaning when it is not readily perceived. Like Dante, the poet asks you to accompany him on this exploration of an unfamiliar terrain. Like Dante, a reader passes through this world and receives a different perspective of the landscape we thought we knew. Such is the power of Brendan Constantine's art."
—Quill & Parchment
