Hag is a reclamation of language—how it holds sway over us, how it moves through everything, a gorgeous annihilation. It is a closer look at how we define femininity for ourselves. We choose our lives, and this collection shows us another way of doing so. We hold the hands of Fate every step of the way, guided by our own power yet to be discovered. “A sweeping, visceral, and brilliant collection of shape-shifting poems that applies Tamara Jobe's mastery of from to the liminal space between the sacred and profane. Jobe transforms every inch of the body into a landscape to probe and surrender. The subversions in this slow incantatory spell are hard to forget. One leaves this book with the pulse of the ‘open-eyed snake poem’ lit wide, inside.” —Alina Stefanescu, author of Every Mask I Tried On
