The Night Is What It Eats by Danielle Hanson
Press Sheet | Bookshop.org
from Codhill Press
The Night Is What It Eats explores several interlacing themes: saints complaining about their Heaven, body parts disassembled and put to use in a surrealistic bending of reality, elegies to animals loved and unloved, magical realist poems and odes to nature and natural forces. It is the world we live in, but dismantled and reassembled. Parts of the whole are set free, like St Lucia’s eyes, to see the world on their own.
