#TodaylRead 'Domestic Interior' by Fiona Wright. This is the kind of poetry I love-it's not pretentious, it's not so metaphorical it's impossible to tell what it's actually about. There's a lot of the sacred ordinary in this one. It's quite beautiful.

Perfect dark undertone research for a project I'm working on later this year. Great buildup too—I had suspicions but then that one line

#TodaylRead 'Smokehouse' by Melissa Manning. So well crafted— linked stories that show how we touch each other's lives, lightly and like earthquakes. Beautiful and stark and devastating. #AmReading #WhatAmandaRead

#TodayIRead 'The Valley of Lost Stories' by @vanessamccausland. Deliciously twisty with a subtle darkness from the beginning that I really enjoyed. And an ensemble cast that captured a lot of the reality of modern parenting. #AmReading #WhatAmandaRead
