Magnolia Canopy Otherworld explores the places that hold the muddied and forested histories of women.
Sensory and sensual, Erin Carlyle 's poems portray an elemental girlhood, and the fragility and publicness of a body, even in the woods.
These poems are full of dangerous baptisms, teeth and hooks, gothic flora and their attendant ghosts.
Carlyle's style is lush and lovely, but always tugging with its dark undertow until we feel our own animal selves.
