- About the Book
-
It is death dropping down, staining white sheets, seeping into my skirt. In this, I am sewn to a mother who screams in the cupboard and claws at my hair. If I do not learn, what will the Shadow Man do, the long, brown Zeus eyes crack? I breathe hunched, arms crossed over hummingbird breasts, sensitive to light, touch of fabric, streaming water — nipples twist in cool rooms, point to the ceiling. I learn to keep my back to the wall as I … breathe.
‘En Passant is sex, sex, sex, “the rush of an all-night drive”; “the roar [which] obliterates thought”’ — MTC Cronin.
