Description
Inspired by Lanford Wilson's play Talley's Folly, Jeremy Radin's Dear Sal is a series of epistolary meditations on loneliness, longing, the Jewish diaspora, bewilderment, divinity, and love. Radin's second collection lays bare a life lived in romantic exile, using the play's events-one year after a brief but passionate affair, a man returns to a deserted boathouse on his beloved's family property in order to offer himself to her-as the foundation for a mystifying interior stage, populated by a cast of eccentrics, upon which a man must wrestle, each moment, with his own unremitting desire.

Reviews
"Jeremy Radin's long anticipated second collection of poems, Dear Sal, is a thick braid of joy, despair, Judaica, dragon teeth, familial history, & desire. This collection is formally, materially, & sonically inventive including an epistolary ekphrastic eponymous sequence addressed to Sal that pulls the reader in by the scruff of their neck and whispers. These poems are gnashing at the teeth to be read. Dear reader, such sweet releases & humors await you." -sam sax, Author of Madness
