The book is a sixty sonnet sequence, set in Chicago and Philadelphia. It takes the form of a triptych, and the three twenty-sonnet sections are: Sister Lovers, Dancing with Myself, and Two of Us.
“Not all vampirism transpires on a grassy hill deep in the Carpathians. We may all, in fact, be vampires: blood-crazed, hungry, equipped with sharp teeth for a life-and-death struggle. The struggle is for love, in all of its myriad manifestations: physical, emotional, spiritual. In When You Bit…, Adam Fieled has crafted what may be the first post-avant sonnet cycle. It concerns these themes; how we feed on each other, consume each others’ vital resources, prey upon weaknesses to get those first teeth-marks in. In these sonnets, we see a sensibility equal parts Barrett Watten and Sir Philip Sidney; the post-avant impulse towards openness meeting a Renaissance-like ideal of courtly love, phenomenological inquiry, and good old-fashioned heartache. The goal, perpetually renewed in the text, is always the same: to make the reader complicit in attacks on frigidity and an embrace of the artfully carnal.”

Cursed and a sky, progress marched asleep. But convex, like every jolt of sin. A million eyes from Mars, transfigured howls with the possibility to incognito, therefore the difficult hours measure and clad wetness in memory.
Veins mirror your money, a fresh tongue or two away from genuine soul power. Thoughts instant the sunny cinema, where what is new lips and tresses icy waves of lazy afternoons spent giga-bitten. The Sphinx of complexity means only the interior monocle can be your father.
Time is intended, the bone conjured by winter's mingling of cracked nights and weeping tufts of Parisian hair, the arrogant music stored in one face. There, warbling gold as tomorrow, the nucleus is no longer warm.
