Possession by Stevie Ronnie

Description

Possession is a single poem that runs the length of the chapbook, in fragmented couplets that speak to love and desire, it charts the ways in which we can posess another person or be possessed by them. Posession overflows with rich language, simultaneously intense and delicate, marked with want.
