| Summary: | "The Sacred Heart Motel is a map for lapses in time, an exploration of placelessness and longing. Poems in a multiverse narrative bring the reader on a tour of the motel, from amenities to rooms to back alleys, through the generations of ghosts and queer love stories, until they are left alone with the heart at the centre of the narrative. Music forms the rungs of this manuscript, from nighttime quiet to an orchestral intermission to a crescendo of exposed interiors. A number of series of poems make up the volume, outlined in the contents, or the 'Directory,' and one series in particular describes a single motel. New poet Grace Kwan is ruthless and nimble, guiding us through the recesses of body and roadside space."-- |
