Description

Francesca Lia Block's latest collection of poems explores the roles women play in many archetypal stories, giving voice to these female characters and letting them tell their own tales.

In this haunting and magical poetry, Block draws on myth and fable to reveal a complexity and despair that only a truly great poet can convey. The result is a collection that is both beautiful and unflinching, shedding light on the exploitation of girls in our Western culture of myth and fairy tales.

With poems that are both beguiling and bracing, Block invites readers to wander into the dark spaces she creates, where violence and eroticism meet current and crucial concerns. Listen close to her seductive voice as it speaks through these fabular figures, and discover a world of raw emotion and unflinching truth.
