“I’d rather beauty wreck me than / only dream of having it. / And when I wake up remember” Malilenas developed out of notebook I called Numerological Notebook begun in late 2005 about love & money, and the war. A series of 47 numbered poems, Malilenas works through various links and doublings played out in a space of shiftingly intimate rhetorical turns. (Ugly Duckling Presse, 2009.)
