About Earthly Delights:

"Earthly Delights is full of parentheticals, ellipses, allusions, and contradictions. Jollimore's poems delight in syntax that tries, through capacious twists and turns, to locate what is the real. They raise philosophical questions about nostalgia and representation, melancholy and pleasure that Jollimore never attempts to resolve, preferring instead to place the reader where ‘everything is / in flux and ungraspable.' A vibrant, restless, and deeply intelligent collection."
