In The Rose, award-winning poet Ariana Reines navigates the intersection of power and surrender.
Drawing on the history of romance as the troubadours knew it and the titular flower's ancient allegories for sexuality and mystery, Reines plunges into feminine archetypes to explore masculine pain: I have always liked helpless / & terrible men because they break my mind. In these poems, inherited ideologies of gender performance are replaced with bold vulnerability: paradoxes of power and surrender transmute the speaker's understanding of suffering, desire, and the soul.
