Love and hatred are what we all feel, what often define who we are. And yet what we can hardly define, even in the finesse of language. Hurricane Lover is an attempt to tackle the “undefinability” of love, to take us to the philosophical limits of feelings. In crisp innuendoes and refreshing images, Ekaete George describes love in a way that reminds us of how the transcendental art of poetry can always help us grasp the ungraspable. But also Hurricane Lover is a remarkable blend of feeling and flesh that urges us to rethink our incapacity to engage the materiality of feeling, to give and take genuine love.
