Comestibles

Comestibles is Burnham's first full-length poetry collection, reviewing the ties that bind in life and literature, exploring the connections that food/consumption share with language, birth, sexuality, spirituality, death, and God.
The work is a confessionary minefield of what it means to be ""the other woman"" and to navigate becoming a mother in the wake of a failed relationship.
Burnham weaves themes of family, illness, loss, maternity, divinity, grief, existential angst, and hope into poems that are darkly humorous and--most of all--unapologetic and direct.
