Description
“How to Sleep With Strangers is a mix of obliquity both alarming and reassuring like the idea of fate. These poems play and pun, and sometimes come close and whisper something terribly sad and shocking in your ear.”

These innovative, contemporary poems both entertain and challenge readers to examine assumptions and stereotypes. Hattaway’s laconic and playful tone often lulls the reader into a false sense of security, until the poet expertly delivers the incisive line or phrase that stops us in our tracks. The succinct expression and deceptively straightforward language distil the poet’s message to intense and powerful effect. Funny, often poignant, always compelling, How to Sleep with Strangers is a triumph of wit and wisdom.
