Furniture
Completely original – both very funny and existentially bleak … No-one else is writing poems remotely like these
British poet Lorraine Mariner’s first full-length poetry collection is suffused with the loneliness of big city life and drenched in the heartache caused by love’s disappointments.

I had been thinking about infatuation and unrequited love and the time when you decide you've got to get a grip. To an observer it can seem like a complete overreaction if you are nursing a broken heart and nothing has really happened between you and the object of your affection.

Beautiful confession - I think I used to date your imaginary boyfriend's sister . . .

Where can I find more poems from this collection? It is expensive, and not always a good idea, to buy books just after reading one poem from it.
