- Seven Days, Twelve Months, and a Year unfolds in New York City, where the author met a transgender artist through a dating site in 2018. What follows is the story of a relationship told entirely through poetry. A sequence of intimate soliloquies traces the emotional landscape of love during the first seven days, then month by month, concluding at the end of the year. Inspired by the structure of the Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri, each poem is presented as a canto. The progression of the relationship echoes Dante’s symbolic pilgrimage from hell to heaven: a passage through passion, doubt, loss, and revelation. Like Dante’s devotion to Beatrice, the poems revisit love as both transcendence and trial, mapping the inner journey of a heart searching for meaning through connection. By adopting the term canto, the author seeks to revive the classical tradition of courtly love, a literary concept historically associated with heterosexual romance. In framing her 2018 dating experience as a modern-day epic, Brynda Mara suggests that contemporary relationships—however unconventional—can carry the same emotional gravity and transformative power as the great literary pilgrimages of the past. Centering the narrative on a relationship with a transgender artist is also a deliberate choice. By placing intimacy, vulnerability, and everyday experience at the heart of the poems, the work aims to challenge lingering social stigmas and humanize the experience of dating within the transgender community.
