Poetry, chapbook, 28 pages, from Bottlecap Features. Hope Is The Thing With Teeth is a collection obsessed with obsession. The poet is isolated and sending letters to her lovers and ex-lovers, she’s drunk on her balcony watching the moon, she’s collecting dead insects from the side of the road and wondering why she’s spinning out. Boundaries are blurred with her ex. The birds and butterflies are laughing at her. She’s an anxious alcoholic in attempted recovery, an unreliable narrator, a young woman struggling with executive dysfunction and coming to terms with what it means to be alone for the first time. In Hope…, the author reconciles with aging, addiction, death, and platitudes as she stumbles through a madhouse of wanting and longing.
