Publisher's Synopsis
Love isn't neat. It isn't scented candles and curated playlists. It's sweat and spit and bite marks. This second wave of The Whiskey Tree: Untamed Love doesn't pander. It claws deep into the raw, unfiltered edges of affection, obsession, and all the wreckage in between. These are poems that kiss with blood on the teeth, that hold hands only to twist the wrist and see what breaks.
From Perry Gasteiger's cannibalistic lunch-date fever dream to Damien B. Donnelly's unflinching ode to the reek and grime of lust, this anthology brings together voices that aren't afraid to get messy. This is a celebration of love as it really is: contradictory, carnal, uncontainable.
Featuring powerhouse contributions from Briony Collins, Lucy Heuschen, Bex Hainsworth, and many more, this collection goes beyond the Hallmark heart-into dream sequences, doomed trysts, sex on the edge of collapse, and tenderness that stings.
This is love, untamed. And it doesn't knock politely. It kicks the door in.
Perfect for readers who like their poetry honest, visceral, and a little bit dangerous.
