WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND?

“In her latest collection of poems, Can I Finish, Please? Catherine Bowman has a genius for cataloguing and wild associative leaps lead us through a labyrinth of pure erotic wizardry. In her poem, Beds, desire morphs into a roulette wheel of possibilities. A bed becomes both arc and levee, idiot box and power grid. Best of all, Bowman’s language play is unpretentious. These poems, like real life squeaky, sweaty beds, are tethered to love, sex, and heartbreak.”

Mia Leonin, author of Chance Born

Leonin appears at 4 p.m. Sunday at Books & Books, 265 Aragon Ave., Coral Gables; a portion of book sales goes to Miami Bridge Youth and Family Services
