FRANCESCA KRITIKOS’ IN THE BED OF SICKNESS

(SPRING 2023)

SKU: N/A Category:
IN THE BED OF SICKNESS is an infinity mirror of ripening pears, soft white rabbits and calla lilies with pills for seeds. Kritikos masterfully lures us into a bed that reeks of our desires shifted, our bodies morphed, our minds warped by an inertia sucked out. The sparceness of the poems nestle the prose of the title piece which is the perfect treat for any middle. Devour this book, it won’t leave anything on your hands.
