Thus the blue hour comes by Tess Jolly

Thus the blue hour comes is a sequence of poems which explores the  narrator’s journey away from home into a disturbing psychological world of restriction and disorder.

In a realm which could be house, forest or fairy tale, presided over by a menacing, unnamed presence, ordinary objects such as clocks, furniture and flowers become frightening and childhood games are dangerous.

Finally recognising the place for what it is, the traveller must decide if and how to return.
