There’s Something They’re Not Telling Us
A lyrical meditation on the nuances of domestic life.
There’s Something They’re Not Telling Us is a meditation on the nuances of domestic life, of learning to exist in the constant presence of an other. Through the interrogation of a thesis on what holds us to the present moment, the collection explores the rapture and isolation of marriage and the quotidian. The poems ask us to consider what it means to live on a planet charged with entropy and in bodies that move towards natural and unnatural ends. The work does not purport to provide answers so much as it aims to keep the reader in the text, which is experiential and alive.
