    About this ebook

    Kitchens at Night exists in the space between domesticity and imagination, the dreamt and the actual. A goat appears with a message. A chilli prompts metaphysical questions. A coffin appears in the flea market. In half-light, relationships falter and familiar objects are restored to their original mystery and strangeness in these spellbinding and playful poems.
