As a follow-up to last episode on Aubades with John Donne, I'll be featuring a modern Aubade, "aubade beginning in handcuffs", to show how contemporary poets like torrin a. greathouse press the Aubade form to be even steamier -- and yet much more tender and vulnerable -- than Donne's.

Visit torrin a greathouse's website or buy their latest collection, Wound from the Mouth of a Wound (Milkweed, 2020)
