Lyrical and at times unsettling, The Somnambulist Cookbook explores the quality of disappearance, slowly breaking down as the poems swing from rogue sonnets to fractured prose poems, reminiscent of Larkin, but if he had gone abroad and listened to Pavement rather than jazz. These are poems which haunt the margins of who and what we are, searching for something that has left only a trace on the barbed wire of our nerves.
Andrew McDonnell writes poetry and short fiction. His work has appeared across a number of anthologies and journals, such as Poetry London, Butcher’s Dog and more. He has an MA in Creative Writing from UEA, and is an editor at Gatehouse Press and Lighthouse Literary Journal. He is a course leader in English Literature at University Centre Peterborough, though he lives in Norwich, so he has a long commute in which to write.
