Red G Love,

Description

Red G Love, a collection of poems by the American poet Laurie Duggan, was published in 2023. The collection puts forward an intense, reflective view into the complications of life, love, and contemporary society. Most of Duggan’s poems are minimalist in form but sharp in observation, drawing on personal experience, historical references, and considerations of modern culture.

Where the poems take on different themes-politics, memory, and urban landscapes-Red G Love foregrounds an emotional depth and immediacy in human relation. Duggan’s take on love and intimacy, for instance, goes upon layered nuances oftentimes putting tenderness beside detachment or uncertainty.

It’s a collection of subtle imagery and the capacity of an understated language to evoke strong emotions, which makes it compelling in terms of individual and collective human experience.
