She''s sleeping like a fairy tale girl, before the story
teaches girls like her a lesson.
In The House of Broken Things, Kim Moore interrogates motherhood as a transformative experience in all its complexity and ambivalence. Moore conjours an intimate atmosphere of haunting domesticity, treating the poem as a kind of secular prayer: the worldly and otherworldy held in the same breath.
These poems are a nuanced and sometimes painfully honest portrait of life as a new mother, and her hopes and terrors for a daughter growing up in a world of violence towards women and girls. Throughout, fears and tensions are paired seamlessly with moments of great tenderness, wit and revelation: these poems always offer a way out.
The House of Broken Things is a thrilling new work from one of our boldest and most exciting poets.
