“I want a necklace / made of the teeth / of my friends / so I can keep their bones close / against this pulse / at my throat.”
A lovely, haunting collection that casts its spell over the readers and lures them into history, ritual, love, grief, and more. I really enjoyed the imagery throughout the pieces; for example in "The Poisoning" -- "His antlers are trimmed in stars." Beautiful. Jessica Drake-Thomas has a strong writing voice, and I'm eager to read what she does next!
