EBOOK
About
The Book of Spells is a collection of poems that believes the world around us is shaped and reshaped by language and that changing our language is a revolutionary act of political and social magic that can replace long-standing destructive agreements with the benignity of loving clarity.
I started this book by following the tracks of a mythical creature composed of language and blood across an unblemished field of silence. I never catch this creature who perhaps is made real by my pursuit of it. There are glimpses-shadows-made into poems in a poor attempt to construct the whole from the parts. This book is a brush dipped in flowers-corpses-schoolyards-the smell of ocean and tears attempting to paint over without erasing the world we've constructed as it is.
