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.
