Book Synopsis
Emily & Elspeth follows two women and their unique paths to love? and each other. Catherine McNeil?s latest collection is a delightful romp through South America, the imagined inner-workings of Frida Kahlo?s relationship(s), and Vancouver bedrooms. Through poems that flirt with the intersections of desire, art, and commitment, she pieces together Emily and Elspeth?s relationship as playfully as she takes it apart. Along the way, Emily & Elspeth brings you to places both intimate and unexpected: a belly where a uterus used to be; a girl matador facing off against a bull; and ?fat, honeyed days, swollen with desire? that risk being destroyed by the nefarious aims of a government spy. Weird, wonderful, and slightly dangerous, this is a queer love story that?s anything but typical.
