Bücher von L. Lewis

Love is often considered a universal human emotion, but love has never been singular, it is manifold and unique; there is no correct way to love yourself or another and we all must learn this the hard way.In this collection of poetry Alexa Lewis reviews her experiences with love and their culmination. Diving into past relationships she confronts the expectations of what it means to love and be loved and how this singular emotion can multiply and inhabit every other facet of a person's life. Utilising a mix of the standard poetic format and extended sections prose poetry Lewis creates a cohesive recollection of past events which bleed into the present.

Contemporary life in most nation-states is not truly cultural, but rather "culture-like," especially in large-scale societies. Beginning with a distinction between special events and everyday life, Lewis examines fundamental events including play, ritual, work, and carnival and connects personal embodied habits and large-scale cultural practices.
