More about the book

Exploring themes of women's lives, agency, and hybridity, Gita Ralleigh's poetry evokes a sense of danger and compulsion. The collection features survival poems characterized by wild unpredictability and hyper-sensitive language, drawing inspiration from diverse sources like Adrienne Rich, Ovid, and Asian mythology. The imagery of a siren suggests a transformative experience, warning that those who heed her call will emerge irrevocably altered.
