Divination with a Human Heart Attached

Více o knize

"In her debut poetry collection, Emily Stoddard takes on a god who “kicks us from the inside.” These poems challenge the space between the divine and the stories we invent—or inherit—about what to believe and why.Divination with a Human Heart Attached is a book where the sacred doesn’t shy away from what’s surreal, unavoidably human, or unexpectedly absurd. Here, the gods know what it’s like to be lonely, the daughters know the power of expecting more, and every bird is at risk of becoming an omen. The poems are led by Petronilla, the daughter of St. Peter, and the magpie, who refuses easy shelter and asks you to do the same.
