Anotace knihy

Featuring ten collages by the author, Helen Ivory's new poetry collection Constructing a Witch fixes on the monstering and the scapegoating of women and on the fear of ageing femininity.

In this collection, the witch appears as the barren, child-eating hag; she is a lustful seductress luring men to a path of corruption; she is a powerful or cantankerous woman whose cursing must be silenced by force. These bewitching poems explore the witch archetype and the witch as human woman. They examine the nature of superstition and the necessity of magic and counter-magic to gain a fingerhold of agency, when life is chaotic and fragile. In the poems of Constructing a Witch Helen Ivory investigates witch tourism, the witch as outsider, cultural representations of the witch, female power and disempowerment, the menopause, and how the female body has been used and misunderstood for centuries. Constructing a Witch is a Poetry Book Society Recommendation.
