Author Description

The Failed-Love Factory Auction Catalog is an accounting of the costs and terms of “too many kinds of failed love to count, but let’s try anyway.” These poems reveal the origins and provenances of said failed loves. Ghosts, wedding outfits, Dr. S, and Barry Manilow inhabit these pages. If love can’t be bought, at least it can be archived. Arlene Ang and Valerie Fox have written several books together, among them Bundles of Letters Including A, V, and Epsilon (Texture) and The Honeymoon Series (as yet unpublished). The Failed-Love Factory Auction Catalog is the first they've published since 2008.
