THERES A WITCH IN THE WORD MACHINE

From the author of The Panopticon, The Sunlight Pilgrims, and The Dead Queen of Bohemia, this collection is an exploration of words as spells, incantations, curse and solace. Jenni Fagan’s spell poems are portraits of people, lovers and cities - Paris, New York, Edinburgh, Detroit, Los Angeles and San Francisco - while the excerpts from her Truth poem are a political response to the anxiety and uncertainty facing all of us across the world.
