Story
London E17, 2019, a yellow kitchen stands as a metaphor for the lifelong friendship between three women: Claude, the earnest baker, fragile and goal-orientated Sophie and stubborn and political Giulia. They have the best kind of friendship, chasing life and careers; dating, dreaming and consuming but always returning to be reunited in the yellow kitchen. That is, until a trip to Lisbon unravels unexplored desires and the friendship between Claude and Sophie becomes intimate. Having sex is one thing, waking up the day after is the beginning of something new.

Story
These are poems of whimsy and imaginative acrobatics, but they are grounded in the familiar, common things of everyday experience. Collins takes us for a walk with an impossibly ancient dog, discovers the proper way to eat a banana, meets an Irish spider and invites us to his own funeral. Facing both the wonders of being alive and the thrill of mortality, these new poems can only solidify Collins’ reputation as one of America’s most durable and interesting poets.

PERFECT LISTENING FOR A WOMAN,
- By Anonymous User on 29-04-22
Summary
In spaces where ideas simultaneously crystallize, connect, and unravel in random ways, Invisible Ink by Jen Schneider explores everyday moments through multiple perspectives and experimental forms.
As unanswered messages proliferate and solutions dissipate like invisible ink, the collection entertains and embraces the intersection of randomness and regularity in spontaneous snippets of time.
"Invisible Ink is a kaleidoscopic romp through contemporary life in all its broken beauty... It’s a wild ride and always worth it." (J.G. McClure, author of The Fire Lit & Nearing)
