Beschreibung
Falling in love, landing, making an impression, leaving a piece of ourselves in the hollow, excavating the emptiness to analyze the remains, repeat. Eventually, we riddle the earth with our wingless natures. Looking back, trying to describe our amorous relationships in all their earthly particulars, the absence of an adequate vocabulary rears its head. This book attempts to redress the problem. As anyone who has ever wielded a shovel in search of themselves knows, when “digging the pit of Babel” the heap grows larger than the hole.
