The Night Is What It Eats

By Danielle Hanson

Magical realist poems, odes to nature and natural forces, and elegies to animals loved and unloved.

Danielle Hanson's latest collection of poems, The Night Is What It Eats, explores several interlacing themes: saints complaining about their Heaven, body parts disassembled and put to use in a surrealistic bending of reality, elegies to animals loved and unloved. These magical realist poems and odes to nature and natural forces address the world we live in, but dismantled and reassembled. Parts of the whole are set free, like St. Lucia's eyes, to see the world on their own.
