This Night's Forest by wren hex

wren hex’s this night’s forest is equal parts visceral & surreal—a tense & enchanting wordscape that closes in around you with every word. If you have ever lost yourself in your sewing & found your finger stitched to the cloth, you may have an idea what to expect. Each poem is embroidered with a soft & brutal beauty, where birds become bodies become threads become the sky, & “where the pigeons live… you write: / ‘i like them because they are dirty, / failed doves.’” –torrin a. greathouse, co-founder of Black Napkin Press & author of In Search of Stray Gods
