Presents a funny collection, which offers a glimpse of the gaps and cracks that can exist between family members in everyday life. Divided into three sections, these poems show the author turning her poetic talents to fruitful ground, pioneering an offbeat and insistent use of italic and an uneasy sonnet form.
This thoughtful, disturbing, and darkly funny new collection explores the theme of uneasy domestic life in poems arranged in three sequences and narrated by a gas fitter, his wife, and their teenage daughter. Without explicit storytelling, the secrets and peculiarities of each character are revealed in technically superb poetry that is deceptively easy to navigate.
