I Am in Bed With YouI Am in Bed With You

Playful and fluid but completely serious, Emma Barnes's surreal phantasmagoria I Am in Bed with You leads us through the very personal worlds of sex, gender and the body. Barnes cracks jokes, makes us uncomfortable, shows us a little tenderness, leaves a lot unsaid and does it all with language that provokes and confounds. This collection is personal and fantastical, funny and excruciating. It's poetry in the process of unravelling most of what you thought you knew.
