About the Book

In this captivating collection, Asha Walker explores the intense, often misunderstood experience of limerence- that all-consuming, obsessive state of infatuation that masquerades as love. Through vivid imagery and raw emotion, these poems chart the dizzying heights of euphoria, the aching lows of uncertainty, and the bittersweet journey of self-awareness. From the first electric touch to the final fading embers, "Limerence" resonates with anyone who has ever mistaken infatuation for lasting love. This volume serves as both a mirror and a balm for those navigating the turbulent waters of intense attraction, offering solace, understanding, and ultimately, a path toward genuine connection. Dive into these pages and rediscover the power of your own heart's journey, as you traverse the fine line between fantasy and reality, between limerence and love. Limerence published in 2024 has been praised for its unflinching examination of romantic obsession and the blurred lines between love and infatuation. Walker's unique voice blends traditional forms with experimental structures creating a reading experience that is both familiar and refreshingly new.

Review :
"In 'Limerence, ' Walker proves herself a wordsmith of extraordinary talent. Her poems on the nature of all-consuming love are rich with clever metaphors and intellectual wordplay, challenging readers while remaining deeply relatable. Drawing inspiration from Nikki Giovanni's fearless approach, Walker tackles the complexities of desire with both grace and grit, marking herself as a rising star in contemporary poetry." "Asha Walker's debut collection 'Limerence' is a linguistic tour de force. Each poem pulses with the frenetic energy of new love, perfectly embodying the giddy disorientation of intense romantic attraction. Walker's ability to blend innovative form with deeply affecting content is remarkable, crafting verses that dance across the page and straight into the reader's heart." "With 'Limerence, ' Walker establishes herself as a powerful new voice in poetry. Her treatment of love and obsession is both delicate and fierce, capturing the kaleidoscope of emotions that accompany passionate infatuation. Walker's verses crackle with wordplay, finding beauty and heartache in equal measure. This collection is a must-read for anyone who has ever felt the all-consuming power of limerence." "'Limerence' announces the arrival of Asha Walker as a formidable talent in the world of contemporary poetry.
