Mother Night

The new pamphlet of poems from critically-acclaimed London-based author Serge ♆ Neptune

A poetry pamphlet by queer, neurodivergent poet Serge ♆ Neptune. Mother Night is a hallucinogenic journey across a city with too many alleyways and across a life surviving childhood sexual assault.Mother Night is a hallucinogenic journey across a city with too many alleyways and across a life surviving childhood sexual assault. Forming a nocturnal séance, Serge ♆ Neptune resurrects abusive old lovers and ghosts of the queers of the past – conjures men in cars and men in bedrooms – providing them invitation and shelter, or casting them to stormy waves. In a book of many types of darkness – across poems of vulnerability and harm – what persists in Mother Night is its celebration of resilience, what shines brightest is the many ways it reaches for the light.
