The cynical voice, insisting that an \"orange soda contains formaldehyde,\" lives together with the man in love who marvels that his lover's shoulders are \"two hushed magnolia petals.\" Of note in this collection is the sheer brilliance of Milkereit's titles. Often alluding to other famous works, his titles are so exquisitely wrought that reading the table of contents becomes a poem in and of itself.
