  Longlisted for the 2024 Fred Cogswell Award For Excellence In Poetry
  
  Finalist for the 2023 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year Awards
  
  In these peculiar times, we are thrust back into ourselves in a kind of suspension: one in which only private life exists yet threatens to become trivial through a sense of mutual, overarching dread.
  Lent from award-winning writer Kate Cayley is built from this tension, exploring domestic and artistic life amidst the environmental crisis and the surprising ways that every philosophical quandary—large and small—converges in the home, in small objects, conversations, and moments. The grotesque and the tedious, the baroque and the banal, intertwine in the first three sections. Meticulous depictions of spectacle run into the repetition of daily domestic life: trying to explain time to children, day trips to the planetarium, and the warnings of strangers; these are interspersed with depictions such as Mary Shelley recalling the monster, the inner life of a seventeenth century portrait sitter, and Ted Hughes's second wife telling her story to the dead Sylvia Plath. The title section explores religious faith; how belief is itself a repetition, a slow accumulation over time, just like love or forgiveness.
  Lent is an exquisite work of our era, asking us to contemplate what it means to live in a broken world—and why we still find it beautiful.

  Peter Killian, curator at Los Angeles’s Constantine House, wakes in a hospital with a concussion, a police guard… and no memory of how he got there. 
  According to the LAPD, he’s the prime suspect in the theft of a priceless Tenth Century Chinese sculpture. 
  Peter knows one thing with absolute certainty: he’s not a thief. Unfortunately, that conviction isn’t shared by Detective Mike Griffin — a sharp-eyed, hard-edged cop who seems infuriatingly determined to see Peter arrested. 
  As the evidence mounts and Peter’s missing hours refuse to resurface, reality becomes even more unsettling. Because threaded through his fractured thoughts are vivid dreams of an unseen lover — intimate, haunting… and disturbingly reminiscent of Griffin himself. 
  Someone is lying. 
   Someone is manipulating the truth. 
  And Peter can’t trust his memory — or his heart.
