We have all imagined it—our daytime activities reappear, twisted, in our dreams at night. What, then, drove Lewis Carroll’s Alice to dream of bodily distortions and dangerous adults? What is happening in her waking life to cause this darkness? Reimagined using details from Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland, Jessica Young’s new collection of poems focuses on Alice’s older sister, Mary, and the trouble she faces—the quiet, shadowy disturbances—that affect everyone around. It seems the rabbit hole goes much farther down than we thought. Employing ambitious writing techniques, Young invites us in for the descent.
