Things You Think I Don't Know

by Deborah Kay Davies

Creating a fabulous mix of the strange and the familiar, these poems offer unforgettable images: a weird hole opens in front of M & S; a heron lays a giant egg on a bed; a routine cytology test reveals the utterly unexpected. Beginning with the world we know, the poems transport us to a place beyond the bizarre and fantastic, a place hilarious and horrible and unforgettable, finally returning full circle to disclose the unrecognized magic of the ordinary.
