Caroline Bird's new poems offer a captivating glimpse into the unexpected twists and turns of real life that unfold in the aftermath of seemingly happy endings. In her collection titled "A Financial Times Poetry Book of the Year 2024," Bird explores a range of themes, including marriage, lesbian parenthood, addiction, and recovery. Throughout the book, a recurring dream serves as a central motif, depicting a world where mothers impale themselves on pogo sticks, serial killers roam basements, baby monitors are haunted by other people's babies, and love remains steadfast and thrilling, akin to a stationary rollercoaster that becomes the most exhilarating ride in the amusement park. "Her editor welcomed the book in these terms: "It is bleak, repellent, and hilarious in an American Psycho-ish way. Hectic and vivid. Vegetable crisps. The words yawn like a black hole, sucking my eyes backwards into my head until I see my own brain glowing like a radioactive cauliflower."
