It's libidinal, heartful, hot with the memory of what was libidinal and heartfelt and hot. It's also a cult classic: self-published in 2007 and available now to an audience who will recognize the deep influence it has had on contemporary poets and poetry. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"\u003cb\u003eScathing and meek, furious and thoughtful, reckless and careful, brave and frightened\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCɶur de Lion\u003c\/i\u003e is something you've never seen before that you already know by heart.\"--\u003cb\u003eDaniel Handler aka Lemony Snicket\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"A book of frank witty poetry that \u003cb\u003emakes me laugh, cry, throw things\u003c\/b\u003e.\"--\u003cb\u003eLena Dunham\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"She is in me now \u003cb\u003elike a hot virus\u003c\/b\u003e and i am smitten.\"--\u003cb\u003eMelissa Broder\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"In \u003ci\u003eCɶur de Lion\u003c\/i\u003e the erotics of power and powerlessness are not opposites--they flirt and morph and clash into \u003cb\u003ea brilliant blast of poetic energy\u003c\/b\u003e.

Already I think of Reines' work in art as dividing, like Picasso's, into periods, and if this is the rose period it is also the time in which blood rained down on the peoples' heads.
