About the Book

The poems in Where Good Swimmers Drown are love poems. But love poems that defy the divisions between emotion and intellect, private and public, life and art, writer and reader. To read Elbe's poems is to discover not only what it means to be in love, but what it means to be alive. Jesse Lee Kercheval, author of Cinema Muto and The Dog Angel
