Lisa Ciccarello’s Atmospheric Poetry Collection: At Night

Description

At Night by Lisa Ciccarello (Black Ocean, paperback)

Publication Date: April 14, 2015

Publisher Marketing: Poetry. Told in an age we can’t quite put our finger on, the poems in Lisa Ciccarello’s debut collection twist up from tales of witchcraft and the punishing morals of the Newgate Calendar. Vulnerable in the darkness as the dead watch behind salt-lined windows, we are led to explore a world of simple objects through a complex fog of cruelty and longing, strength and feebleness, folklore and familial traditions. Violence, love, death, jealousy, sex, and shadows fill the pages of AT NIGHT. If you seek comfort, you will find none here.
