Özet
The award-winning author of Bless the Daughter Raised by a Voice in Her Head returns with a poetry collection of chemical intensity, where love—or the fever-dream of it—threatens to consume the most precious parts of a self.

"Ya Allah if it / will keep my heart soft, please break / my heart everyday."

A woman meets a man. She carries, as we all do, the weight of her childhood, the story of her parents, the body she was born into. Endorphins race in her—their love is fated. But what comes next?

In Saint Serotonin, the world narrows to a single, ferocious flame of obsession. From the jitters of infatuation to the ecstatic wager of losing oneself in another, Shire paints an uncompromising and complicated portrait of a woman in love: "The only side effect is / nothing will ever be enough."

These are poems of reckless intoxication, devotion, abasement, tenderness, addiction. Sensual, subversive, perfume-scented yet horror-tinged, Saint Serotonin ensnares us in its intimate derangements. As our narrator fights her way back to herself, who will she be when she emerges?

This collection is at once a promise and a warning, an excavation of what it is to love and be loved.
