The Lady In The Bottle

This inventive collection reimagines the first season of the 1960s television series I Dream of Jeannie, with each poem corresponding to an episode first broadcast in 1965.�Revisiting a childhood favourite through an adult eye, Lilley follows a magical heroine's quest for love and freedom while exposing the gender dynamics of mid-1960s America. By turns playful, nostalgic and sharply critical, the poems dwell on longing, domesticity and enchantment, conjuring the strange power of a woman confined to her bottle.�A witty, poignant meditation on television, memory and the fantasies that shape us.
