PRAISE:

.

Michelle Cicillini‘s Amorance is an ode to love, lust, childhood, and nature (blue jays, cicadas, cherry blossoms, snow). Punctuated with references to philosophy and religion, the text weaves a portrait of a family immersed in the routines and rituals of everyday devotions. Arranged like the numbered passages of Wittgenstein’s Investigations, Cicillini’s text likewise constructs an album. Whether you read from beginning to end or pick out a verse at a time, the text retains a jewel-like specificity and invites you into the complex intimacy of a love beyond language, sometimes called mothering.—Megan Craig (Thinking in Transit, Columbia University Press)

.

In Amorance, Michelle Cicillini writes with startling sensual intelligence, weaving theology, motherhood, eros, grief, and devotion into prose that feels both intellectually rigorous and incandescently alive. This is a work obsessed with attention in the truest sense—how to notice, how to love, how to remain awake to the sacred textures of ordinary life. Lush, searching, and utterly singular, Amorance is a book that lingers in the body after reading. —Rebecca Rijsdijk, Founding Editor of Sunday Mornings at the River
