Spells: 21st-Century Occult Poetry, New Edition - Ed. Sarah Shin and Rebecca Tamás (Silver Press)

Spell-poems take us into a realm where words can influence the universe.

Spells brings together over forty contemporary voices exploring the territory where justice, selfhood and the imagination meet the transformative power of the occult. These poems unmake the world around them, so that it might be remade anew.
