Mother Night

Mother Night is a hallucinogenic journey across a city with too many alleyways and across a life surviving childhood sexual assault. Forming a nocturnal seance, Serge ? Neptune resurrects abusive old lovers and ghosts of the queers of the past - conjures men in cars and men in bedrooms - providing them invitation and shelter, or casting them to stormy waves.

In a book of many types of darkness - across poems of vulnerability and harm - what persists in Mother Night is its celebration of resilience, what shines brightest is the many ways it reaches for the light.
