Description
Waiting for Bluebeard tries to understand how a girl could grow up to be the woman living in Bluebeard's house.
The story begins with a part-remembered, part-imagined childhood, where seances are held, and a father drowns in oil beneath the skeleton of his car.
When her childhood home coughs up birds in the parlour, the girl enters Bluebeard's house paying the tariff of a single layer of skin.
This is only the first stage of her disappearing, as she searches for a phantom child in a house where Bluebeard haunts the corridors like a sobbing wolf.
Waiting for Bluebeard is Helen Ivory's fourth book of poems. 'Helen Ivory creates a troubled yet beguiling world rich in irony and disquiet.
She possesses a strongly-grounded narrative voice which, combined with her dextrous transformative takes both on reality and on what lies beyond reality's surface, puts one in mind of the darker side of Stevie Smith who said that poetry "is a strong explosion in the sky".' -Penelope Shuttle.
