Rivers in Your Skin, Sirens in Your Hair: Poems

By Marisca Pichetta

When I left home I took only what I could carry...

What will you bring with you down the path, through the hills and into the woods? Fragments, stories, living things? Echoes of the past, promises for the future?

In fifty new and collected poems, Marisca Pichette celebrates myth, folklore, and memory. Her poems traverse landscapes both real and imagined, taking inherited tales and retelling them through a queer lens.

From dusk into the night and out again at dawn, her work offers you a magical journey in speculative verse.
