SPELLS: 21st Century Occult Poetry
edited by Sarah Shin and Rebecca Tamás
"Revives the ancient notion of poetry's transformative power to summon up some of the most exciting poets experimenting with English now." --The Guardian
Spells are poems; poetry is spelling.
Spell-poems take us into a realm where words can influence the universe.
SPELLS: 21st Century Occult Poetry brings together thirty-six contemporary voices exploring the territory where justice, selfhood, and the imagination meet the transformative power of the occult. These poems unmake the world around them, so that it might be remade anew.
