More about the book

Featuring a long poem titled "Metamorphoses (Masked Ball)," this collection showcases 115 sonnets where mythological figures adopt the personas of historical icons, such as Orpheus as Elvis and Proserpina as Freud. The work balances opulence with austerity, presenting short lyrics alongside an autobiographical poem that highlights the author's meditative and provocative style. This collection is regarded as Koestenbaum's most ambitious and strongest work to date, reflecting a deep exploration of identity and transformation.
