Book Description:

In his fifth book of poems, Timothy Liu addresses a tripartite "Thee": the Divine, the Beloved, and the State. A precarious dance between the spiritual and the material ensues, the lyric poem confronting a consumer culture overrun by rampant lust and greed yet finding itself unable to wholly stand outside of what it critiques.
