What to Wear

The poems in What to Wear observe that life means doing ordinary and marvellous things, like going to Bunnings, falling asleep on the train, losing and finding poems, losing and dreaming of our mothers, loving, dying, and deciding what to wear. ‘Mischievously joyful, like being in on the very best in-joke. Jenny Bornholdt reveals the strange magic of the everyday. Some of these poems move like a heat-seeking missile set to the heart.’ —Louise Wallace, author of Ash and This Is a Story About Your Mother ‘Bornholdt has never been so spare, so stark and wise.’ —Jake Arthur, author of Tarot and A Lack of Good Sons
