<p><b>&#34;Where fear collides with the little shield of love.&#34;</b></p><p>Manahil Bandukwala's second collection of poems is a meditation on love during times of social and political upheaval. As a sunflower's growth reaches toward the sun, so, she suggests, is a lover's growth compelled by the gravitational pull and soul-light of their beloved. Many of these poems are in conversation with other poets and artists, creating a lineage of call and response. Against a backdrop of terrestrial crisis, come, spend your precious minutes in love's <i>Heliotropia,</i> where we are magnetized by the unfathomable dark matter of another person, and know ourselves as celestial bodies flowering in spacetime, together.</p><p>&#34;Intergalactic yet deeply earthly, intertextual yet wonderfully original...&#34;<br> - Mikko Harvey, author of <i>Let the World Have You</i></p>
