Fortune Cookie

by Jenna Clake

Poetry. FORTUNE COOKIE is Jenna Clake's debut collection. These poems deal with the everyday and living with a partner, friendships, and chronic insomnia. At the same time, they contain confusing, absurd animals can talk, boyfriends are imagined or might be seals, and jellyfish are slowly taking over. At once humorous, poignant and unsettling, this collection considers how we might make sense of a world that really makes no sense at all.
