Fourteen Slopes

by Mariah K. Hamang

In this book of beautiful, visceral verse and prose poetry, Hamang explores questions of pain, desire, and the space between us. Inspired by their time as an expat in Istanbul, the work is set to the backdrop of that seething metropolis. Hamang’s work, written to be read in a packed bar, is evocative, sensual, and leaves you wanting more.
