Rhododendron, Rhododendronis a beautiful collection of poetry named for an ugly flower.

From Sag Harbor to Toulouse. From the boudoir to the bardo. From Ativan to the ashtray. Parker Love Bowling's debut poetry collection writes the tender, the profane, and the dark in bright, deep contrasts.

Like dried flowers pressed into your lover's palm, Rhododendron, Rhododendron leaves behind a lovely taste, equal parts saccharine and sour.
