love of the monster is a stunning debut collection of illustrated poetry by writer and artist AM Roselli.
These 47 exquisite verses and accompanying art present a call-and-response between human and monster that will leave you reconsidering the subject of love, especially the transformative power of exotic, erotic love. But be forewarned: These are not your ''stinking of reddest roses'' love poems. They're earthy, gritty, lustful and, more importantly, beautifully sensual.
Roselli's words remind us of the monster in us all those dark beasts lurking in our shadow sides. Attraction, lust, longing, carnality, loss this collection uniquely blends human passion with monstrous eros for a brand new take on love in all of its many guises. A gifted artist (this is a beautiful book to look at!), Roselli brings her exacting eye to bare on language so perfectly honed you can steer beneath the stars by it.
