Candles and Water is a queer pillow book: a document of wreckage, haunting, and survival.

This collection is made of fictions and diaries, dreams and lists, lies and ghost stories. Its fragments and filaments are lonely, joyous, enraged, sickly, and lost; and when they crystallize around a single voice, it is by way of healing from grief and recovery from addiction.

Timothy Thornton is a writer and musician. His work was in Volume 2 of the new Penguin Modern Poets series, and he has published eleven books of poetry. He organised two series of reading and performance nights in Brighton: He has composed and performed scores for productions at Battersea Arts Centre and The Yard Theatre.
