This is a book about the precipitous, high-stakes relationship between creative genius and domestic life, centred on the lure and dangers of freedom. Effectively Cullhed tries to do in more capacious, domestic and worldly form what Plath succeeded so spectacularly in doing in her final poems – writing all the pleasure and pain of maternal and sexual love in a world at once ordinary (baking, gardening, sleeping children) and feverishly charged.

I long for the day I wake up to your wholesome eyes, and the ripeness that comes with you after a long night.

The theme of love and loss is empathetic but if feels like a series of cliche sentiments or thoughts of work chopped up to look like free verse and not showing any of the poetic structured forms found in other works of poetry. He started writing when he was younger, and has since fallen in love with all kinds of different poetry that the world has to offer.
