Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart

About this book

A surreal exploration of love, desire, and historical echoes.

In Beloved Revolutionary Sweetheart, Beatriz Hausner juxtaposes surrealism with historical and contemporary influences to explore various aspects of Eros. Inspired by troubadour poets and figures like Empress Theodora and the Countess of Dia, these poems delve into wistful romance and explicit sex.

This collection reaches across millennia to offer an unexpected and contemporary exploration of love's oldest pleasures. Hausner's "alter voices" express permutations of presence, absence, conquest, and loss, making this a compelling read for those seeking unconventional and passionate poetry. Will you succumb to the revolutionary sweetheart?

my powers and may you consume
us and be absorbed in nuptial fire

I sleep and don’t wake up
tuus sum: I am yours
my new life is reverie

the angel is standing
watch at the door
do you feel his breathing
as he now lies between us?
perhaps when you allow your
animals to be soft felines lightly
stepping on our bodies. Recall
too the languid afternoons
when heat was quieted sound
and not this icy noise grating
at the foundations of my house
