Klappentext In this debut collection! Anna Journey invites the reader into her peculiar! noir universe nourished with sex and mortality.

"I'd fall devil / over heels over edge over oleander"; and one woman writes a letter to the underworld: Dear black bayou! once! by a river I bit a man's neck. His scent: the raw teak air husked inside stomachs of six Russian nesting dolls--the ones in the attic I pulled apart and open. The ones I pulled apart and open like Styrofoam cups.
