The Orange Juice is Over by Hilary Sideris

$14.00

 

Hilary Sideris is a “paramour of grammar” in her debut, The Orange Juice is Over”, leaving an uncommunicative marriage and finding her pleasure in the miscommunication of Italian and English. These poems catch their sleeves on sviluppo and church, roll back slaughter to laughter, rest heads on pilafs, and stand up to pillar and pillager. She gnaws her spacious cage and buys a tight space, cleans house with household tricks, reglazes more than the tub. I love the trip and slide of meaning, the correspondence of food and tongue in words and mouth. The titles that start and finish this collection aptly spell Good Mate, which Sideris has found in verse and bed.
