A neurotically funny collection that looks under the hood of adult life
As in life, she was a pain in the arse
in death. He could hear her roaring
all the way from the fifth circle,
''Why the hell do you get to be in a
better circle than me, I''m wrathful
because of your lust -''
Deploying a chorus of voices both ancient and modern to explore a world of sexual politics and singles cruises, dysfunctional families and psychoanalysis, awkward cohabitations and self-help guides for the would-be Dream Girl, this is the third collection from a unique poetic talent: observant, obsessive and wickedly witty.
''The funniest book I''ve read in years. Maris flexes her wit and wisdom to create a litany of nervous characters in a style that''s mordant, sarcastic, satiric yet often compassionate . . . a poet of risk, she is dark, deep and often laugh out loud''
DALJIT NAGRA
''Her dry, droll, clinically deadpan manner is all her own; but her themes - obscure hurts, implacable dissatisfactions, hardwired propensity for victimhood and suffering - reflect the experience of humanity at large''
