and the wonders of natural creation everywhere

with deep undercurrents: of embodied and disembodied spiritualities

Constructing a Witch by Helen Ivory<br><b>Poetry Book Society Winter 2024 Recommendation</b> F Starik or suddenly knownDespite the Devil being conceived to direct human baseness away from our goodly selves, there has always been sin in the world. The Bible has it that woman is the weaker vessel, therefore her inferior ways could easily let the Devil into the house, and into her oh so corruptible body and thus the story begins. Helen Ivorys new collection Constructing a Witch fixes on the monstering and the scapegoating of women and on the fear of ageing femininity.
