Fierce, exuberant, and erotic, they invite the reader to share a rare and startling vision: how, if we would only permit ourselves to be drawn out of our mental privacies, out to the very surface of our skin, we might admit the beauty of being for a moment in the world, and with each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCraig Arnold \u003c\/b\u003eis the author of \u003ci\u003eShells\u003c\/i\u003e, a Yale Series of Younger Poets selection chosen by W.S.
