Wow. Anyone who enjoyed this book might want to read Ava, by Carole Maso, whose style Jenny Boully has ripped off verbatim. Boully in fact reveals her familiarity with Maso's writing by making reference to her on page 35 of this book. Maso is an underread but brilliant avant-garde writer who deserves to be read by many but does not deserve this kind of injustice. Please don't support dishonest authors who feel the need to steal from others.

One Love Affair Jenny Boully 9780977901906 Books Reviews

not as great as i had hoped. stilted.
Intelligent, witty, and beautifully written. The dissolution of a relationship doomed by drugs and mental illness--lushly detailed, deeply felt. This is a quick read--my only critique is that it should go on--and yet it lingers long in the heart, the mind, the ear the sound of Boully's prose is as stunning as its content. Her flowers are gritty and her grit is flowery "When it was her turn to hit the pipe, she declined, saying that she had already had her crack today and no thank you." Highly recommended.
Boully is a poet that most assume is extinct in an era in which poetry is not your usual fare. The poet's knowledge of subject matter ranging from Greek language to popular culture and so on, coupled with her undeniable talent to convey such ideas about varied subject matter in assured and confident language, is unmatched.

Much like The Body, Boully's previous work, One Love Affair not only shows her passion for language, but an enjoyment for language. One Love Affair is unlike any book of verse this reader has read in many years, and I believe it is safe to say that Ms. Boully and her work are genuine zeitgeist, or loving and forceful blows to the heart.

Buy this book, it will leave you wanting more.
I love this book for its gorgeously constructed sentences, its oddly constructed sentences, its insanely long sentences, and its truncated sentences--sentences that just end without ending and without a period

I love its little list on page 11 I wonder if everything might be classified under "Things that bruise," "Things that fly," or "Things that ripen to die."

I love its footnotes--as surprised as I am to find them in a book by Jenny Boully.

I love the play between image and exposition, between very human narratives and painstaking deconstructions of the same.

I love how, as a reader, I am made to bear witness to the narrative/essay/prose poem's construction, its underpinnings--and yet I never feel mired in any of the typical postmodern trappings, never feel that vacancy-at-heart that plagues me in pieces that confuse po-mo's infinite possibilities with the negation of exquisite singular moments.

I love that this book risks being beautiful (a quality all too rare among other writers Boully's age), but handles beauty with the same deftness with which it handles the topics of gas and enemas. And the topic of smoking crack, of course.

I love how, in Boully's book, we may be searching for mushrooms among cow flops, but we find "unnamable endless flowerings."
