By Kimberly Lieu

Kimberly Lieu's agridulce (bittersweet) is a rebellious bird. It swoops and soars, it pecks, it spans vast tracks of land and water. Sometimes it'll sweetly eat out of your hand and at other times it sings in the distant dark. 

She shares her experiences with you and it's impossible not to understand. With Lieu you remember your own loves and indiscretions in a way that illuminates past and present as well as the bitter and the sweet.

i told him that i didn’t recognize him
with all of his clothes on,
so he proceeded to take his shirt off
