Описание: Literary Witches celebrates the most witchy women of the literary world with beautiful illustrations and mini creative bios. From Shirley Jackson to Jamaica Kincaid, the featured writers lived and wrote with fierce, and at times very dark, tendencies, which the author/illustrator honor through poetic imaginations of their witchy qualities. The list of women featured in this collection is diverse, and includes both the well-known and the obscure: Emily Dickinson and Virginia Woolf to the canonized but more obscure Mira Bai and Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz. For book lovers and the scores of women adopting "coven" monikers and celebrating all things witchy, this list will provide both new insights on the most beloved authors and suggestions for new writers to discover. And importantly, Literary Witches asserts the witch as a visionary figure of female empowerment, formidable creative resources, and general badassery.

Описание: With a strange, otherworldly style, poetic clarity, and striking honesty, Ask Baba Yaga contains beautifully skewed wisdom to be consulted in times of need. Dear Baba Yaga, I think I must crave male attention too much. I fear that, without it, I would feel invisible. BABA YAGA: When you seek others this way, you are invisible nonetheless. Yr shawl is covered in mirrors in which others admire themselves; this is why they greet you so passionately. It is good to be seen, but it is better to see. Find a being to look hard into, & you will see yrself and what is more than you. In age-old Slavic fairy tales, the witch Baba Yaga is sought out by those with a burning need for guidance. In contemporary life, Baba Yaga--a dangerous, slippery oracle--answered earnest questions on The Hairpin for years. These pages collect her most poignant, surreal, and humorous exchanges along with all-new questions and answers for those seeking her mystical advice.
