Comestibles

Comestibles is Burnhams first full-length poetry collection reviewing the ties that bind in life and literature exploring the connections that food/consumption share with language birth sexuality spirituality death and God. The work is a confessionary minefield of what it means to be the other woman and to navigate becoming a mother in the wake of a failed relationship. Burnham weaves themes of family illness loss maternity divinity grief existential angst and hope into poems that are darkly humorous and--most of all--unapologetic and direct.
