Her skillful wings fly wide over life’s myriad characters, images, and tales; her startling imagination and quirky diction are swift to seize details that matter. Confident and wry, clear-eyed and amused, this is a poet equally at home with feminist myth, social commentary, and resonant memory. Trust in her fervent and generous flight.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-end para-style-body\" style=\"color: rgba(255,255,255,var(--o42jjq,1)); caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); --8sd0kg: none; font-family: 'YAGyDvJ_4Ts_0', '_fb_', 'auto'; --cyv3zq: 17.7545px; --gjplxq: 1.4; text-transform: none; --s8nbea: p; line-height: 24px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-end para-style-body\" style=\"color: rgba(255,255,255,var(--o42jjq,1)); caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); --8sd0kg: none; font-family: 'YAGyDvJ_4Ts_0', '_fb_', 'auto'; --cyv3zq: 15.2035px; --gjplxq: 1.4; text-transform: none; --s8nbea: p; line-height: 21px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\" style=\"caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); --ys-xuq: none; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-kerning: normal;\"\u003eAnnie Finch, author of\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\" style=\"caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); --ys-xuq: none; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-kerning: normal;\"\u003e Spells: New and Selected Poems\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-end para-style-body\" style=\"color: rgba(255,255,255,var(--o42jjq,1)); caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); --8sd0kg: none; font-family: 'YAGyDvJ_4Ts_0', '_fb_', 'auto'; --cyv3zq: 17.7545px; --gjplxq: 1.4; text-transform: none; --s8nbea: p; line-height: 24px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-end para-style-body\" style=\"color: rgba(255,255,255,var(--o42jjq,1)); caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); --8sd0kg: none; font-family: 'YAGyDvJ_4Ts_0', '_fb_', 'auto'; --cyv3zq: 17.7545px; --gjplxq: 1.4; text-transform: none; --s8nbea: p; line-height: 24px;\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\" style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0); caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); --ys-xuq: none; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-kerning: normal;\"\u003eLeveraging both metrical integrity and divergence, forms that adhere and then “cede,” as Dickinson says, from their systems, Kate Ravin’s poems are disobedient. Such is the collection’s project. Girls and women––the poet’s avatars, ancillaries, adversaries, and psychological parts––populate this book, not so much a chorus (too tidy) but a cavalcade, each with her own righteous wisdom, anger, and ambivalence. Through lyric reflections and wry, formally accomplished retellings of myth and folklore, these poems approach cultural memory, generational trauma, and lived experience as stratum: underworld upon underworld.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-end para-style-body\" style=\"color: rgba(255,255,255,var(--o42jjq,1)); caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); --8sd0kg: none; font-family: 'YAGyDvJ_4Ts_0', '_fb_', 'auto'; --cyv3zq: 15.2036px; --gjplxq: 1.4; text-transform: none; --s8nbea: p; line-height: 21px;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"cvGsUA direction-ltr align-end para-style-body\" style=\"color: rgba(255,255,255,var(--o42jjq,1)); caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); --8sd0kg: none; font-family: 'YAGyDvJ_4Ts_0', '_fb_', 'auto'; --cyv3zq: 15.2036px; --gjplxq: 1.4; text-transform: none; --s8nbea: p; line-height: 21px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\" style=\"caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); --ys-xuq: none; font-weight: 400; font-style: normal; font-kerning: normal;\"\u003eJane Huffman, author of \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a_GcMg font-feature-liga-off font-feature-clig-off font-feature-calt-off text-decoration-none text-strikethrough-none\" style=\"caret-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); --ys-xuq: none; font-weight: 400; font-style: italic; font-kerning: normal;\"\u003ePublic Abstract\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"dancing girl press \u0026 studio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45219180773423,"sku":null,"price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0719\/1219\/files\/tangledskein_8.png?v=1776802184","url":"https:\/\/dulcetshop.myshopify.com\/products\/a-tangled-skein-kate-ravin","provider":"dancing girl press \u0026 studio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
