Morphology by Erica Miriam Fabri

Pre order now, launches May 25, 2025

"Where love meets language—a stunning exploration of bodies, both present and vanished"

ABOUT THE BOOK

Morphology, by definition, is the study of the forms of words and bodies. In her second book, Erica Miriam Fabri uses the formation of words—molded into poems—to celebrate and mourn various forms of bodies. The bodies featured as main characters in this collection include lovers, family members, children, ghosts, rats, jellyfish, skeletons, and snakes. While this book of poetry is set mostly in New York City, it also journeys to far-flung destinations such as outer space, the deep sea, and the afterlife.

FROM THE COLLECTION

"If it were the end of the world, would you choose me

to make love to?

Would you cup your large hands to shelter my face

from a plague of pests,

so we can kiss and kiss and kiss as insects devour the rest of us?"

"The greatest poem ever written must be a love poem.

There must be a tongue in this poem, with its own animal heart,

and two lips that suck skin like warm dumplings."
