Eucalyptus Sextet

With a wicked gleam in her eye Jane Bhandari explores the predicament of the middle-aged widow who after the first shock of bereavement finds herself constantly dreaming about sex.These poems are the conversations with her midnight longings her fantasies and desires. Far from retiring to a nunnery she embarks on a rollercoaster ride through uncharted territory sprinkled with predators and Romeos and some genuinely nice guys. They are all treated with tart irreverent wit: this is the revirginated merry widow having fun albeit mixed with some disappointment. To find a prince she says you have to kiss a lot of frogs. And its delicious.
