More about the book
Exploring themes of transformation and the thin line between the animal and human worlds, this collection of poems weaves together domestic concerns with the wildness of nature. The narrative includes mythic elements, such as a Celtic princess turning from beast to human and lovers represented as moon and owl. The poems engage with life's realities—marriage, motherhood, and loss—while yearning for other realms, creating a dynamic interplay between the familiar and the fantastical, air and earth, life and death.
