In his arresting debut pamphlet, Alex Marlow asks what desire and longing look like in the 21st century. Nude as Retrospect is an exploration of contemporary intimacy examined through the lens of family, queerness, sex, and mental health. These are poems that position connection as the root of human want, while straddling the gaps between what we have and what we can get.
