\u201cI\u2019m sick \/ of outsourcing care to desire\u201d writes Grace Kwan in this sure-footed, arrestingly wise de\u0301but, and this axis, between fantasies of belonging and the experience of being held, is perhaps at the core of the book, threaded through each poem. If \u201cagain and again I\u2019ve abandoned my urgency \/ for the romance of cruelty,\u201d how does that self in each of us return?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Food! Drinks! Readings! Heart-shaped key chains!<\/p>\n

In poet Grace Kwan\u2019s debut, they are ruthless and nimble, guiding us through the recesses of body and roadside space. The reader tours the motel through this multiverse narrative, 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. The Sacred Heart Motel<\/em> is a disorienting, startling collection about placelessness and longing.<\/p>\n
